Why I'd AVOID Amtrak At All Costs

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Amtrak has been great. Until now. Within 2 minutes of getting on the Amtrak Palmetto to Savannah, I was THREATENED by an Amtrak Employee, which is why Why I'd AVOID Amtrak At All Costs. It put a huge damper on our trip. But we did get to experience a 15 hour Amtrak Train trip in coach AND we went from New York City to Savannah for only $29! We'll give you our review of spending 15 hours in coach and let you now how we got such a great rate!

Amtrak THREATENED Me!
❄ THIS TRIP WAS WAY BETTER! ⇨ ruclips.net/video/qUT30VLfYjo/видео.html
Sounded like the bully conductor was worried about u filming him because of his aggressiveness. And it sounds like he keeps getting away with that behaviour. Well getting his name and emailing Amtrak about the issue wouldn’t be such a loss because it’s more likely to end up in this employee’s HR file which would be a good thing.
But it was still another invigorating adventure! 🍻
Ya, I probably should…
@@LyfeUntethered Yes you two should definitely complain with an email and even better a snail letter copying as many Amtrak officials on up to the head poopah. You would be providing a needed public service. I have watched countless Amtrak videos and no one, not anyone, has been mistreated and threatened like you two. You did complain to the conductor and I bet the attendant has a short career.
@@davidjackson7281 Ya, we for sure should. The conductor didn't seem to care, unfortunately. We've had really good experiences on all of our other Amtrak trips.
@@LyfeUntethered Yes, I have been watching the your other videos and you, Trevor (my little brothers middle name) and Leila, sure have had a great time on the other trips. I suppose in Amtrak's defense it may be difficult getting good help these days though that is still kind of a lame reason/excuse/rationale. Please keep up the good production values. I see much RUclips success in your future.
@@davidjackson7281 Thanks David!
As someone who has been on so many Amtrak trains, I don’t think I could give you an accurate ballpark, and I film for myself on practically all of them, I have only ever been told not to film once, by the cafe car attendant. I think you landed in a 1/100 experience with that conductor. Amtrak is usually way more friendly than airlines, way cheaper, way easier to travel, and so many other things. I’m sorry that you guys didn’t have the best experience, but I do hope you will give them another try, as they are a much better way to travel.
Always have been very friendly.. Is definitely different from airlines
You're not panning the camera on others. That's stupid. People take pictures and videos all the time, especially out the windows. I did that riding from Omaha to Reno on the Zephyr.
Ya, that dude just sucked.
WTF 🤬??? You should have taken a photo of him and sent it to Amtrak Headquarters. Just who the heck does he think he is basically bullying a passenger (you)!! Not acceptable and if Amtrak doesn't do something about that employee's behavior & any employees like him means I'll never get another sleeping room on Amtrak again!!! I haven't even finished watching your video yet that's how much I really hate bullies👹😡!!! Keep us posted on what Amtrak does about this please 🙏.
Uh, your traveling. Ppl take videos,pictures while they are on vacation! To keep memories. What a jerk, he needs a vacation it sounds like!
Yep!
@@LyfeUntetheredMake him ride Amtrak in coach the entire way.
What in the actual eff? Please tell me that you are contacting Amtrak customer relations about this. AND...let us know what happens.
I have taken a 13 hr train ride from Sacramento to Albany OR and I did coach on the way up and business class on the way down. The train was almost full on the way up. We were given assigned seating. Even though there were a few empty rows I was not allowed to change seats and was placed next to someone and when you leave Sac at 11pm, sleep is desired. I couldn't get comfy. I ended up sneaking to an empty row to get some sort of sleep. I had asked if I could change to that row and was told no. So on my way down I did business class. I thought it was so much better. It was not as crowded and got a row to my self. It was a much better experience.
Good call Sara!
Seriously, wtf? The conductor seems to have been way out of line.
He so was.
It is not at all a rarity for a conductor to be on a power trip on Amtrak. That's when you go right to the top conductor. Would have been so hard to have the conductor tell the assistant conductor to knock it off? Because they will back down if you go over their heads.
Interesting. Have always had great experiences on the train other than delayed.. Is polite people. Absolutely lawful to video tape in public, On amtrak anytime. Just some employee having a bad day... Or just a staunch liberal/Democrat that's not big on laws. Freedom of speech, Freedom of own opinion or thoughts.etc.
Recently, I have found that people who have an aversion to having their picture taken have something to hide. Could this Amtrak employee have been at the January 6 insurrection? If you remember what they look like, go to the FBI’s most wanted pictures and see if they’re there. It might be worth $1000 to you.
so what was the reason to avoid amtrak?you didnt say.
The militant anti video train attendant. Hopefully he was just an anomaly.
So far for us. He should be fired.
This video looks sus.
I could tell you WHY you were threatened 1:36. It wasn't you. Well, actually it probably was you. But it was nothing you did or had control over. And it was just someone that had an axe to grind over it. If you get what I'm saying.
OMG! I am sorry you had to go though this stressed time! That attendant needs to be reported! (See many people are saying conductor, they only work part of the route, the attendant rides the whole route). I've never had that issue before with filming..
Ya, this was the only time. He needs a time out or something!
@@LyfeUntethered For sure!
I've logged thousands of train hours, but only on cramped, uncomfortable commuter trains. Despite the hassles of your travels, this looks way more palatable.
Except for that issue, trains have been pretty great.
It is. I used to ride Metro North commuter trains for many years and am lucky enough now to have an Amtrak train that gets me to work in time. Night and day.
@@soerenhubaI used to ride the New Haven LIne on Metro North from New Rochelle to GCT. Lots of "fun" memories.
Dang! Some people get so power hungry when you give them even the slightest amount of authority.
Gosh, I have ridden Amtrak in coach a bunch of times, and no one has ever been a jerk like that guy.
Thank You For Sharing.
I Took AMTRAK many times.
And each time I took AMTRAK?
They kept jacking up the price.
Every week. And every month.
I finally stopped taking it.
Because it got too expensive. 🤑
And the food you get on AMTRAK?
Is Nothing Great.
It's Train Food.
It's Cheap And Simple Food. 🤢 🤮
That's Very Expensive.
And that's only if the Kitchen is working?
And if the Train is on time.
I'm guessing, the Miserable People who Run And Own And Manages the train?
And all Democrats.
🤣 Sorry Henry!
Wow. I watched the other video you made and someone got tossed off for unruly behavior. Now I'm all paranoid I'll be guilty of violating a rule and get kicked on my December trip.
You know, sometimes being unruly is worth it!
I am sure that if you were threatened within one minute, you were a total jerk, sad part of these stories, we only hear one side
That’s complete BS ive never had an issue like that with Amtrak I would definitely give them another shot
Ya, it was our only bad experience. We did take another trip, and it was WAY better. But that dude on this train was a d%&k.
Came here after my first and I hope last amtrack experience. I hope I had watched this video prior to my trip. I would have gladly let the ticket go to waste than go thru the nightmare of 36 hours of the moving bat crazy service staff. The train , infra etc is ok. But the staff has gone wonky I think. Must be a labor union thingy. No one expecting a decent service must use Amtrak. Stay away.
I've been trying to reach Sean McDonough with Amtrak's customer relations department in Washington DC for weeks. He doesn't read his emails. Does anyone know how to reach a supervisor by phone at Amtrak's corporate office???
Next time if you are lucky take a train ride from Havana to Santiago by train. It is the most rinky dink and hard riding train that you will will ever experience, In Havana,Cuba trucks habe been converted into buses and eon Santiago the taxi is horse and carriage except for small European cars imported from the then Soviet Union and Communist Eastern European countries.
Im halfway through your video and I did New York to Tampa and New to Dc Often ...I'm hooked love it already
You actually used film?
I mean, you know, digital film! I've actually struggled with the word "filmed" for a long time. I worked in the entertainment industry for 18 years and everything I worked on was recorded digitally, but people would say "film". If you say "record" it could mean just audio. "Video'd" sounds dumb. Video taped is wrong, obvioulsy. "Digitally recorded" could also be audio. "Video Recorded"? Meh. I finally - after YEARS of fighting it - just say "filmed". But I'm open if you have a better single word! Please share!
4:20 looks like this locomotive had a semi for snack 😂
