SATURDAY 1st NOVEMBER

GUILT TRIP

Greyhound buses are hilarious. The drivers think they're sheriff or maybe something more senior. Every time you watch as the staff treat you like a piece of meat. The drivers are the worst. This time the driver on the 11am to Philadelphia spent 15 minutes screaming at a passenger who had moved his bag to get a seat. The driver ordered the guy off the bus and there was uproar as everyone tried to support his cause. The supervisor came on and told everyone to mind their own business - "surely it was wrong for anybody to move another man's bag". We're talking about your company letting us sit down, mate.

Everyone demanded a new driver but the Super wasn't listening. In the end they got the cops to get the poor customer at the front off the bus. I'm sure Greyhound will press full charges. Others refused to ride with the driver and complained to get a refund but I doubt they'll even get one. Greyhound must think they don;t have to treat their customers with any respect. Pathetic : But it's not really the drivers - anyone can see that it's endemic within the organization and you really have to point your finger at the people at the top who don;t care less.

I must work out how to get the bus from Chinatown to Chinatown next time.
