WTF - Greyhound Bus Lines
Is it just me ???
But I am pizzed at Greyhound Bus Lines....
Had a family friend come to visit from San Antonio who rode East on a Greyhound Bus to visit us.... When they spotted his USMC tatto and small backpack with his clothes and personal items they decided to do a "full search".... Inside his shaving kit they found clippers and nail files which they "confiscated" --- even though he explained that they had personal value to him because he carried them overseas on active duty ( he is still active USMC but on leave ) even took his can of Cope which they claimed could be dope.... To top it off these 2 rent a cops even provoked him by saying "you aren't gonna go all PTSD on us are you" ???
Well I spent an hour down there and they are drafting an apology letter and looking for the items taken from him illegally.... There is an actual list of prohibited items which you may not carry on a bus.... None of the items taken are on that list....
I a sick at my stomach that he was put thru such pure BS here stateside while on leave serving our country...

Re: WTF - Greyhound Bus Lines
The bad part is that the items taken have "personal value" to him as he has carried them on foreign duty... He was told that someone could come and claim them - and told that if he used his phone it would be confiscated too - so he waited till he finished the trip back to call us and ask us to claim his items... Well it turns out that NO someone can't claim them... Only he can claim them by calling in and requesting they be sent via mail on to him...

Re: WTF - Greyhound Bus Lines
Update - Greyhound has a "Zero Tolerance" rule on descrimination and after hearing of these events conducted an interview with the 2 security personel and decided to "black list" both of them from ever working at a Greyhound facility for life. The security company which Greyhound uses is scheduling an internal revue as they also have a similar policy - so they may end up loosing their jobs. In addition to a refund and a formal written apology - Greyhound has now shipped the "personal items" in question back to him via overnight priority. At least upon revue Greyhound has done the right thing. I just hope no other service personel have an experience like this one.
