Pearl_Jam Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 No float? This is sooooooo bad. It's the year 2012. Just because you do not have the exact change for the service does not mean you should not get the correct change in return! If they don't have the change they should not charge you! What's wrong for paying for the bus with a note occassionally? Busses need to get with the times!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busses need to get with the times!! it's common sense to try and give the right change if every one said oh knickers to it I'll give him a tenner or a fiver infact lets really have a mess about and give him a score, he would be like davina mcall on million pound drop, and have to be surrounded by security guards, keepin an eye on his float.

Guest busdriver1 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I asked someone else to explain this and they didn't. How do you get the ATM to give you change? It always gives me notes. I will give you a simple answer to that one. PLAN AHEAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I will give you a simple answer to that one. PLAN AHEAD You've failed to answer the question and given an instruction instead. Of course ATMs do not give out change. So I'll give you a simple reply, carry a float. That's aimed at the company of course, not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Probably because it seems a bit of a daft question when it's obvious that you don't actually get change out of a ATM Well done. The bank gives out notes, not change. but with a bit of common sense application you gets your notes from the hole in the wall the day before, then during the course of the day, spend one of the notes which gives you some change. Perhaps I could spend one on a bus... Oh, no, you mean spend one somewhere else. So another shop has to act as the float carrier for first. This you then put into one of your pockets until you go out again in the morning and viola Bingo, you are able to give the bus driver pretty much as near as dammit, your fare for the bus ride.....OK:?: It's fine, if I happen to want to go somewhere today, and buy something and then carry change around. All for the convenience of a national company who can't be bothered to issue floats or give change. Alternatively, I don't like carrying change around, I don't buy very much using cash, and if I want to catch the tram or the bus I will most likely be paying with a note and expecting change. Strangely enough in much the same way that I would in a shop where you recommend I get my change anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 BEWARE!!!!!!! First are striving to make more money by not having a float first thing in the morning!!!! My fare came to £2.50 I gave him £3. He couldn't give me the change and said that if he didn't have the change by the end of my journey, then I would have to claim it back off the company!!!!!!!!! This process takes 48 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many people are going to claim back 5p 10p 20p??????????????????? Dispicable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is normal most places in the world I have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enough in much the same way that I would in a shop where you recommend I get my change anyway! Or perhaps, as no company I know of actually issues a float to their drivers, they consider the cost of administering such a float to be less than letting the odd passenger ride for free (although I doubt the people who number crunch such things for the companies realise the extent of the problem). Let me ask you a question. Its been explained that the companies do not issue a float, so you're aware that it's down to the driver to supply a float from his own money if he hasen't had sufficient time to collect enough change from the rest of his shift. Is it fair that he should have to dip in to his own wage to provide a service for someone who, however you paint it, can't be bothered to get change in advance, when there is no legal imperative for him to provide change?

Cyclone Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 No it's not fair, but it's not a problem that the customer should deal with, it's a problem the company should deal with. However you paint it, they are running the business and they should provide change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
