You can get hot water and hot tea from the diner / sleeper lounge as well as coffee, soft drinks, etc.
I agree with Anderson. I would not personally use a water boiler for fear of blowing a circuit. I agree that you can get hot water from the sleeper lounge.Hi Penny,
Is there hot water available on the Silvers? Or would I run the risk of blowing a circuit breaker with a water boiler in my room? Thinking ahead potentially for some Korean cup ramen...
What a wonderful idea! Especially if that were passed on to management viafeedback.Perhaps those of us who can't eat what's offered might take the food and announce: "I can't eat this, but maybe someone in coach can." Then go to coach and give it away. And follow up by calling or mailing a complaint to Amtrak's customer service.

So as usual.... all the crews are making up how they want to personally do the job.
Or modifying things to help the flow of the train. What may work flawlessly on the LSL may be a hindrance on the Cardinal. From everything I've ready, the crews were not supposed to wait tables. yet, some are, If it helps the flow and eliminates a line that cuts off the through passage, it may be the better way.
Some of us interpreted "tray" to be the large cafeteria type tray we used to carry 2 or more meals back to our tables, not the little individual tray!Even with a sign, I can see the trays that have been dumped into the garbage.

McDonalds also provides far better breakfast sandwiches (and I'm anything but a fan of their food) as well as better service and also allows one to customize its meals. I never saw a McDonalds person be demanding as to doing service "their way".McDonald's provide a more appropriate tray for dine-in meals than the photos show of those Amtrak trays!
Uh, I've been to plenty of McDonald's where the level of the service was, shall we say, less than optimal.McDonalds also provides far better breakfast sandwiches (and I'm anything but a fan of their food) as well as better service and also allows one to customize its meals.

I have to confess I kind of like the Jimmy Dean muffin sandwiches they have on Amtrak. But I also like McDonalds biscuit sandwiches so I'm not sure which I'd prefer!In my experience with contemporary dining on the Lake Shore this past May I would have definitely preferred breakfast at McDonalds.
