nothing pisses me off more in the mornings than hearing there are delays on the tube due to the all-too-frequent “staff shortage”.

in what kind of parallel universe is this an acceptable excuse?! they might as well say, “our staff (who already get 35 days holiday a year) are too lazy to bother showing up for work, and we’re too incompetent to have a backup coverage plan to make sure we can operate a service, so even though you’re paying the same full fare, tough tittie for you if *you’re* actually expected to show up to *work*.”

it’s beyond infuriating.
