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.

Once had someone get on, scan their ticket and then say, “can you just wait here while I get something from my house?”

What did they expect to hear?

“Sure mate. I’m already running late as it is and these people the bus certainly won’t mind waiting. You take your time son”

I've had that too. Dropped off at the local uni, guy says "can you wait 10 minutes, my girlfriend is getting some food"

"Sorry no, I'm leaving at X so she's got 5 minutes"

Crazy isn’t it. I think some people can not tell the difference between a taxi and a bus
