Subway clerk arrested for punching woman

[russian33]

A token booth clerk in the Bronx was arrested after allegedly punching a woman in the face during an argument sparked when the woman complained that her MetroCard wasn't working.

Gonslee Gordon, 48, was charged with assault after punching Maimouna Saoidoh, 23, in the left eye around 5 p.m. Saturday in the 170th Street station, police said.

Gordon, who started working for NYC Transit in Dec. 1993, was inside the booth when Saoidoh approached him. The two argued, and Gordon left the booth and struck the woman, police said.

Saoidoh went to Bronx Lebanon Hospital complaining of injuries to her left eye and neck. She was treated and released.

In a statement, NYC Transit spokesman James Anyansi said the agency "will not tolerate aggressive behavior of any kind against our customers" and plans to investigate. Gordon could disciplined or dismissed if found to be at fault, Anyansi added.

3. Being in customer service myself

I sympathize (to a certain extent) some customers can be very demanding and like to act superior to the person "serving them." But while you might wish you could sock that person--You just can't act on it. Try and kill them with kindness and if that doesn't work--see if someone else can help them.

5. Killing them with kindness is actually a great response!

They can't stand that the angrier they get, the nicer and more sympathetic you get. They want you to yell and scream right back at them so they can report you.

6. Jared, is that you?

7. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I thought Rick James was dead. :shrug:

8. Those guys can come out of the booth?

You learn something new each day
