Your main object of derision seemed to be the first member of barrier staff. But the point still stands. The frontline staff that you are referring to are all operating to rules and procedures as laid out by their employers.If it was one member of staff then you'd have a point but as numerous posts have indicated, I interacted with a number of staff members at different points and was fobbed off at each point. I also said that it's endemic at a number of stations I have seen and reported this.
Please could you tell me where I am singling out one member of staff?
The decision on how to deal with situations like this has been made miles above their pay grade.
Are you suggesting that these people should break the rules so to speak, and go against the procedures as set down by their employers?
No one is disputing the fact that this kind of evading is endemic. But your fury would be a lot better directed at those who make the decisions on where to deploy the resources
