The danger of shuttle profiling. Over the years, Denver by the Slice has made a lot of trips on the Mall Shuttle. They seem to go back and forth on their own, faceless and without much flair. But, there is this one driver that I swear takes delight in closing the doors while looking at you about to board. Roaring off with people still in the crosswalk. Braking harder than necessary with full loads. And, generally making for a Ride less pleasant than most up 16th. I've even waited for the next shuttle upon seeing him behind the wheel.
Add to that his incessant cigarette break at either end of the trip. Every time. Now, perhaps it gets a bit boring to drive back and forth at the front of the rolling box. One other driver a couple of years ago used to add announcements at every block as to what businesses, restaurants or attractions could be found at each stop. I think he had sponsors. I miss that guy.
Back to my chosen smoker, rude, quick to leave guy. He shows up next to me today, checking out at Cook's Fresh Market at 16th and Glenarm. I am sorry, but I just never figured this guy would buy his lunch here. So, I apologize. At least the guy has good taste! It may even have been one of their Bistro Dinners.
