Cleared for Takeoff
So .. my fiance's daughter takes her 4 yr old on a trip to Chicago. They go
to some museums .. shop .. etc .. you know helping the local economy. On
a bus ride she forgets her purse on the bus. CTA finds it and calls her after
she's home. But .. they won't send it to her. Even though she said use money in the purse to send it. They said "how do we know who you are". Duh .. send it to the address on the ID in the purse. THEY CALLED HER. They told her she'd have to come in person to get it. So she had to buy a round trip plane ticket from Miami to go claim her purse. It had a camera and other
valuables in it.
Is this just their normal way of thanking tourists who come there to spend
their money? Or is it a case of some small people with a perceived power and
arrogance thumping their chest.
Who do we contact there that would care? The mayor's office? Or is this
just business as usual?
