dvp82 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 So to catch the bus now, you have to plan it a day in advance, go to the cash point, then abuse some poor shop in order to get change (and buy something you didn't want), all because first are lazy. Thats how first choose to operate, so as crazy as it sounds. Yes. How would people feel if a no change given policy was introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light sonic Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 So to catch the bus now, you have to plan it a day in advance, go to the cash point, then abuse some poor shop in order to get change (and buy something you didn't want), all because first are lazy. The whole crux of your argument is that people shouldn't be considered lazy for not having change for the bus fare, but you say First are lazy for not having change.

babybel Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'd heard you weren't allowed to give the first drivers more than 20p in coppers some time back. No I'm not a tramp and yes I had to raid the penny jar once or twice to get to work! Was a while back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that sums of money more than 20p (?) of copper, or £5 in silver (5p's, 10p's and 20p's) aren't legal tender, I think it's £10 in 50ps and £20 in £1 coins.

truman Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes, a very small number of them do. I think I've come across one in the past year. Some info here http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1027438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. But not worth laughing at. The difference is that people are just individual people, and first is a multi national cash handling business. Can you see the difference?

No you don't. You get on with a £10 (most cash points do give these out), and they will almost always have change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabel lily Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Just a thought, if everyone had the correct money, wouldn't the journey be a lot quicker? As I say, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murgatt Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Whereas employee's of first will carry a large sign saying "I've got a float in my pocket"? ..."or are you just happy to see me"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
