Do you clap at every bus stop, too? That's their damn job.
I definitely say thank you when getting off the bus.
It's honestly really sad that so many people think people doing a job is somehow not only undeserving of gratitude, but will judge other people for expressing gratitude.
Thanking and clapping are rather different.
Generally, the pilot is in the cockpit and can't hear you thanking them when you've landed. But they can hear clapping.
No but I clap at performances where it's their job.
If my bus ride is 14 hours in one direction, you're damn right I'm clapping. Though it's not entirely for the pilot, it's for being allowed to move freely again.
Yeah I can get away from that screaming infant now.
I do thank the bus driver when I get out
If he's tried to palm off some foreign coin on me though in my change, he's not getting a thank you, he needs to learn his lesson.
Ha, you guys still pay in cash? We can check in with our debitcard here in the Netherlands
For some reason to get really pissy if you try and pay by card. Mostly because they don't want to put the money into actually pay for the infrastructure necessary to support card transactions.
The barely ever wash the buses
I mean, I would if the bus was up a few miles above the road for a couple of hours and landed safely.
