The big, annoying Metro hawker
By adamg on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 8:18pm
Russ Stein wishes the tall Metro hawker at Green Street would just go away:
... He's like seven feet tall and runs from one end of the station to the other shouting shit like, "Aw yeah, I've got your Metro!" and "It's a great day for a Metro!" while getting in the way of people trying to catch the train. I've also heard him muttering some ex-junkie Jesus bullshit when dodging him. ...

How about the lonely old guy at Davis?
Not a licensed Metro hawker, just takes an armload from the real Davis Metro hawker and stands between him and the entrance to the station. When it's warm, he stands outside and screams: MET-ro PAY-PUH!
A couple times this week he's thrust his arm in front of me while I'm walking by. It's pretty obnoxious - how many people do we need handing out crappy newspapers?
He has to go.
I can;t stand his panhandle schtick another morning. Why is the Metro paying this loudmouth to hassle me every morning? Can't they at least move him around to other stations? Who should we contact at the paper?
