Most appear as if they have one shirt they bought for their LIRR job, which they wash maybe once every two weeks.

I'm on it every day, don't really see an issue. Ronk line.

Yes some conductors are outright slobs. Most I have seen at least look clean and pressed. They are in summer wear at the moment which allows them to not have the jacket and tie.

I have seen some that look really bad, we nicknamed this one guy Pig Pen once after the Peanuts character because it looked like a hobo and slept under the train.

Saw another unkept conductor once but I cur him slack since I found that he had just come off another train that had mechanical issues and him and a road car inspector had just come out from under a train.

So because he hates it he goes to work dressed like a bum and doesnt provide a high level of customer service?

I have found the level of professionalism of LIRR conductors to be excellent, especially considering the crap they have to put up with.

I guess you generally accept setting the bar low. No high expectations of yours to be ruined.
