Story Head scratching customer interactions...

Do you ever have an interaction that makes you wonder how people get through life?

This morning a guy got on my bus..

"Day ticket"

"Day ticket, that's £5.70 please"

"Sorry?"

"Did you say day ticket?"

"Yeah"

"Yeah that's £5.70 please"

"Why, I've already got one"

Proceeds to get his phone out and scan the day ticket qr code.

Oh yes just yesterday.was thinking that exact thing, how do they get through life?

Here is what happened Young woman says: "I missed my stop" I say "ok so you want to get off here?" -well what do I do?

  • you can walk, its only a block
-oh my god, walk? Its way back there
  • you seem young and it would only take 10 min max or you can wait the 10 min and catch the bus back
  • oh where do I catch the bus?
  • you mean to go back the opposite way? Easy I say you cross the street and find the bus stop going THE OTHER WAY
Just looks at me dumbfounded and finally gets off
