Send her up the River! :lol:

Really, there is no need foir her action at all! Especially the employee leaving her booth! The booth is locked and has bullet-proof glasss (I think) to protect the employee.Do we now have to worry about protecting the riders from the employees? :huh:

No need for a court case. No need for other witnesses or security tapes or any other evidence. Just one person's story to a random teevee news site and it's lock-up time. -_-

The booths (or at least the stations themselves, for that matter) have cameras. At least, they should.

A locked booth and bullet-proof glass. Not likely that the patron first attacked the attendant who was still inside the booth!

I'd rather let the courts and cameras do the talking than listen to some random claim of unexplained clairvoyance on the Internets.
