Believing In a Fare God
(I often help out with going up and down the aisles with the collection basket. A patron puts a twenty in the basket and then stops me.)
Me: “I have to get this up to the front, ma’am.”
Customer: “Yes, yes. Just one moment.”
(She is rooting around in the collection basket while I stand there.)
Me: “Sorry, what are you doing?”
Customer: “I need change for the bus.”
