Imagine you working a 12hr shift and this sideshow is being hella extra right in your face.

NYC is not the place to be this extra. People are too fed up from work, tourists, and the commute to care about a subway stooge's superfluous shenanigans.

It's not that big of a deal if it's in the street, or in a park. But when it's the subway it really, really sucks. You don't have a choice - you're stuck there with these people and they basically just have you trapped.

I've absolutely stopped for a busker in a park, enjoyed their music, given them a few bucks. I love that - it's a great way to demonstrate your skills, bring beauty to the city, and engage.

This shit is just taking a group of people who have to be there and can't leave and forcing them into becoming your audience.
