Why is it that all the railway staff I have come into contact with are the most rude, obnoxious morons to grace the earth? Is their job so soul destroying that they take it out on fare paying customers?

I'm not talking odd slip ups or poor grammar, but downright rudeness, like its hammered into them to be nasty, rude and abrupt.

Order something from the bar on a London to Paddington and you are normally greeted with a "what" rather than "how can I help" Ask for directions on the platform and you are lucky to get a response. More often than not, you get a "over there" while they walk away back to their hiding place.

Is it too much to expect a little courtesy?
