We recently(Sept.22, 2019) visited the Greyhound Bus Station in Waco, Texas. I went up to the front door, to enter the building, but the secondary door was locked. I could see someone in the bus station sitting on the bench, as well as a bus service employee at the counter. He never acknowledge that my daughter and I were trying to enter the building.
We walked around to two other points of entry and still could not get into the building. The two of us were confused , but then someone sitting outside on a bench told us we had to go to the front to get into the building. We told her we had been to the front of the building but no one came to the door. She told us we had to "tap" on the window , so "he" could see us. I told her he was looking at us but he never tried to help us get into the building. The lady told us, in colorful language how ridiculous it was , the way they "acted" . She stated" It doesn't make any sense"|.
As we walked back to the front of the building, we passed a lady on another bench. She told us it was ridiculous the way she was treated, after just getting off the bus. She told us she did not want to go inside the bus station because of how rude she was treated.
When my daughter and I made it back around , to the front door. The attendant was finally there to open the door.
As I approached the door, he blocked it. I asked him what was going on, and why he was blocking the door. I then asked him if we could come inside. He told me that he first needed to know if we were going to buy a ticket. I told him I wanted to get some information first, and then I would decide if I was going to buy a ticket. He then stepped aside and allowed my daughter and I to step inside the front desk area. I told him why I had come there, which was because after trying to use the website, I could not get it to accept the information I was putting in the search engine, so I could find out what I needed to know.
After he rudely checked on the information I was inquiring about, he escorted us out of the building. I asked him why he was behaving this way, and why the doors were all locked. He told me that the doors were locked because " Every since "they" were overrun with "bums", the doors had to be locked.
This man should not be working with the public. His offensive remarks should embarrass Greyhound Lines. Who is he to determine if someone is a "bum" as he put it. My daughter and I certainly are not "bums". Even if we were,that does not give him the right to act as a "judge" determining who is a "bum" and who is not. One might consider him a "bum" because of his attitude. He needs to know, that words can be used in more than one context. His despicable demeanor should not be on display , in regard to working for any company. He is a disgrace. The bus station in Waco, needs to be visited by upper management, unannounced, so that the "powers that be" get a full picture of the poor representation Greyhound receives in WACO TEXAS. read more
