Metro North’s decision to scrap the bar carts on the platforms at Grand Central Terminal struck a nerve. Now there’s an online petition circulating to bring them back.
Complete with an image from the TV show Mad Men, where nearly every adult character had a drink nearby at some point, the petition, which is addressed to the MTA, Metro North and Governor Cuomo reads:
It’s the holiday season and there are no bar carts operating at Grand Central Terminal. The surprise closing has been called a crime against the hard working adults who depend on your trains to get to and from the city. It’s reported that your riders can live with the lack of wifi and seats, but not the lack of beer.
What do you think?
