It is no secret that half the world is out of a job and the other half looking for a better job than what they are doing which is probably "telesales."

When a train is approaching and you need to add money to your fare card fast, people who've never used the fare card machines decide it's time to learn--now. Behind them are people with borderline obsessive compulsive disorder depositing a decade's worth of nickels one at a time.
