(I live and work in Iceland.)
Customer: “Do you have international busses?”
Me: *thinking I misheard* “Sorry, a bus for where?”
Customer: “You know, for Scotland or somewhere outside of Iceland.”
Me: “You realize this is an island? You can’t drive to another country from here.”
Customer: “Not at all? What about busses that drive onto ferries that take you somewhere?”
Me: “It takes a few days to sail to the next country.”
Customer: “…”
Me: “So, no. No, we don’t have those.”
Customer: “Not in the whole country?”
Me: “I mean, we’re just one company. You can try asking at the tourist information, but…” *the customer walks off* “…I highly doubt it.”
