The Maglev attendatns are the normal Chinese farmers kids from the poor provinces, I guess. So they have no interest in custiomer service at all and just work there to make a living & send some money home.
I always take the "VIP" (sic) car and 9/10 times the attendants do not bother to open the "VIP" doors or the special "VIP" entrance. You have to remind them every time, Chinese staff are experts in looking away at the right moment.
