      I can “doctor” up ANY brand of beans to be the best. And walking up an escalator defeats its purpose. It’s usually the people with mobility issues that will use the escalators. If you’re going to walk up the escalator then take the stairs to begin with and leave the escalator vacant for those who truly need it.

    Aidan, if you want to walk up an escalator, that’s your right to do so. Simply walk up to the rude person in the middle, and say, “Excuse me, I’m walking up.” I guarantee they will (unless they’re a real twat), move aside to let you pass. If they don’t, just grumble and mumble about people who DON’T KEEP RIGHT! 👍🏻
