Thanks controller

This article is published in number 39 of Vanity Fair on newsstands until 28 September 2021

Thanks grizzled controller who with infinite kindness on Friday you made me a class change on the Milan-Mestre because in second – now that there is no more distance – it was too crowded. Thank you for the patience with which after the change you checked my Green Pass, that there was no connection and you tried three times, and not only to me but to the other four who, like me, could have invested nineteen euros to travel a little ‘more serene.

I am very proud of my Green Pass and every time I take it out with pride, like when the conductor gets on the tram and you show proud that yes, you have a ticket (come on, once, when you were young, it happened to everyone not to have it) and you feel like a model citizen, even if you hadn’t saved a child . For the Green Pass it is like the tram ticket, every time I proudly flag it as if having it were not my duty but who knows what valiant merit. To be honest, it’s not that I always have it in hand when they ask, because I still haven’t quite understood where it is needed and where not: I have to look for it among the favorites of the photos, it takes me thirty seconds, and every time I plan to print it and laminate it so as not to waste time on those who ask for it. Thanks to all of you, state and private workers who with patience and kindness ask us for the Green Pass, wait for us to look for it, you fan out those who do not find it immediately or even do not have it, or, God forbid but we they are, I saw them, they pretend more or less aggressively to be able to travel or enter the same without.
I am grateful to you who check the Green Pass, to you who remind us to measure the fever before entering a public place or to wear the mask well: I do not think they will pay you more for what you are doing for us. I know they don’t pay you more, but they should. Damn if they should. Each of us lives in his work, if he has it, of the inconveniences related to the pandemic, but some more. To all of you who are working for us for free: thank you.
