<p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>[quote user="Paul Milenkovic"]</p> <p>Don, this is what I find absolutely amazing.</p> <p>You come along, and you didn't propose some kind of dodgy "Amtrak reform", you merely linked to Amtrak drafting a plan to improve the management of onboard food service. This is something that Amtrak wants to do, apply modern management methods to their dining and cafe cars.</p> <p>And the kind folks who are participating in this forum have run this thread up to, what is it, 5 or 6 pages, arguing the merits of this?</p> <p>This isn't Congress mandating something, this isn't the Heritage Foundation with a crazy idea, this is Amtrak's management, out of their dedication to their jobs, wanting to make food service work better according to some metric, and this is controversial? People are arguing about this? [/quote]</p> <p>Down the rabbit hole, we go!</p> <p>There aren't any forum restrictions on animal burrows, apparently. [/quote]</p> <p>Boardman claims that 99 per cent of the food and beverage losses are incurred on the long distance trains. Get rid of the long distance trains, and the problem largely goes away. Get rid of the long distance trains and Amtrak has an operating profit. Therefore, although it is pushing the outside of the topical scope envelope, I think some discussion of the correlation between food and beverage losses and long distance trains is within scope.</p>
