Trying to catch F-train to Manhattan. Kinda running late. I usually catch the 10:38 train. This morning(05/22) I’m running late and surprise surprise, “issues” at the MTA ticket counter🙄
I showed the MTA employee my Apple Pay which had $10 in it and he said he doesn’t know why my payment wasn’t accepted. Weird how these “glitches” happen at inoppotune moments—wait is that even a word?😂
Anyways, more on the MTA drama later. If it happens on my way back home then definitely it’s worth a post on gs chronicles. I had similar issues Friday on my way back home from Manhattan, so….🤷♀️
Oh, and I’ve used this convenient method (Apple Pay) for over a month now. I couldn’t take the shenanigans of the actual ticket counter anymore—there was ALWAYS something😂🤦♀️
So Thursday evening in my way home trying to catch the F train at the 47-50 street station—SAME problem. I have money on my Apple Card but MTA thingy wouldn’t let me through🙄 See what TIs go through, folks? Interestingly some nice lady(and cute too😂🤷♀️) approached me out of the blue—or so I think—as I was stranded at the 47-50. She asked me a question in what sounded like West African French—Senegal, Guinea etc. I’m thinking she’s probably just lost and looking for directions like a lot of people in NYC do. So I told her I don’t speak French, but she continued talking and started pointing towards the MTA payment gate with a card in her hand. That’s when it hit me that she was offering to pay for me, and she did. I should have asked her for her number but, anyway, back to the story😂
So Friday morning on my way to work, I get declined AGAIN at the 168 street station. What the hell is going on? I just put $10 on my Apple Pay on my way to the 169 street station.
What kind of MKULTRA have they got me on, folks?😂Am I banned from the MTA subway?🤷♀️ I’m tempted to make a formal inquiry to find out why MY card is being declined. Other people are filing through so it’s clearly NOT a “machine problem” or some type of technical glitch. Stay tuned
And then look at this. I get to my job in Manhattan and then an MTA charge of $5.80 pops up on my Apple Pay. So you stick a targeted individual at the gate and then collect the money later. Why didn’t they take it when I was paying. WTH is going on, folks??😂🤷♀️
I found out as I was buying coffee from a deli in Manhattan—the $3.58 charge you see there🤦♀️
