I get off on 74th and Roosevelt and at lease twice a week I walk people over to the LGA shuttle. Seven out of ten times people offer a tip at 10/10 times they’re incredibly grateful I’m “not a typical New Yorker”. It’s wild some woman thought I was leading her to rob her… while wearing a suit a my work bag…

Whoever said nyers arent friendly never tried to ask for directions anywhere. If a tourist need directions thats when everyone tries to show off their knowlege of the subway.

Truly! I’m from the south and people always say New Yorkers are mean but I’ve never experienced that. One of the times I visited years ago, it was raining and gross as heck and I walked up and down a block trying to orient myself and a doorman came out of a building and asked me if I needed some directions. I was so thankful!

To be fair people in suits probably commit more crime than people dressed like the Hamburgler.

I've seen people obviously lost, but when I asked them if they needed help, they got real nervous, like I'm not asking you for money, I just know the train's a mess on the weekend

Lol! I've been taking that shuttle for years and years now and just got fucked by it last month. (They really need to take the sign down from Roosevelt Ave, if the Q70 is picking up in the back pullthru now!)
