Quote of the Day: "From rude to obnoxious to just unspeakable"

by: Jason Springer

Thu Feb 25, 2010 at 01:30:00 PM EST



The smoking gun got a hold of some of the 550 complaints filed against NJ Toll Collectors in the last 18 months and some of them are eye opening. They've gotten the attention of Assemblymen Wisniewski and Moriarty, who want some answers about the complaints and customer service training for employees. Here's how Assemblyman Wisnewski characterized the complaints:
"They range from rude to obnoxious to just unspeakable,"
I read some of them and that quote is pretty much right on. And then there was this runner up quote in response from the Transporation Commissioner:
Simpson, who has been on the job for only three weeks, also was trying to learn specifics about customer service training. But he vowed that if motorists were abused by toll collectors and it could be corroborated, "I will personally rip the toll-taker out of the lane."
The Assemblymen are asking for more stories to be emailed to them and said they may schedule hearings on the complaints. I use EZ Pass so I don't normally talk to the toll collectors, but it seems like I'm missing out.

A mere 550 Complaint Letters out of about a Gazillion transactions? (4.00 / 1)
Given that toll takers on the Parkway and Turnpike have to deal with the great NJ unwashed public and their stupidity day, after day, after day, after day and they only got 550 letters of complaint seems remarkable.  One only has to listen to NJ 101.5 for a few minutes to see what the toll takers have to put up with.  While in the days before EZpass, the toll takers that I dealt with were not always the most loquatious people in the world, they were all competent and did their job.  If you start to mess with them, you may get a wise remark back, but by and large, with the amount of crap that they must have to put up with, I am surprised that there are only 550 complaints.  

Why is a Dem site feeding this monster? (0.00 / 0)
This is nothing more thant eh welfare queen in the Cadillac.

Don't you fools get it?

Demonize government and it makes it awful easy to slah adn elimiante it to benefit corporate cronies.

Wake up and stop feding these assholes.

And bog, that DOT Commissioner seems like he's almost as tough a guy is Christie!


Unfortunately... (0.00 / 0)
toll takers are obsolete. One day we'll wake up and realize this.
