Is it just me, or are tollbooth agents just mean? I pass through the tollbooth every morning, (5 days a week) and I always say Good Morning! But the agents never speak back...they just look at me like I didnt say anything at all. How rude?

Your just one of another million faces they'll see during there shift, and there probably so bored there not even listening.
Don't take it personally

Tollbooth agents will exchange pleasantries with you in MD, DE and even NJ. This may not apply to everyone - the evening and late night shifts tend to be nicer due to the lack of traffic.

I pretty much get the same reaction during busy times... though once in a while I get some positive response. I think they are just bored and after a while zone out... plus that would be a lot of 'good mornings' back during the AM commute... talk about laryngitis at the end of the day! *wink*

State workers with an attitude !
I have seen plenty myself - they make good money for sitting on their as-ses all day and they think they don't have to serve the public.
All got their jobs through relatives and friends of politicians so they never had to work for a living.

I'd have to agree with the above. I wonder what it's like to work that job? It's sad but I bet they will all be replaced be mechanical systems within 5 years.
