- I might suggest being careful about IDing a driver TOO closely - the
- more colorful ones in particular. They have a 'rule book' that borders
- on the rediculous (I had a chance to see one when a driver forgot it at
- a store I worked at a few years ago). He was very happy to get it back,
- it would have been very unpleasant if he had lost it, I guess. Drivers
- with some character are a plus IMO, but not according to the bureaucrats.
- Anything that varies from the standard CAN get a driver some heat if it
- gets past the immediate supervisor (usually one who used to be a driver
- themself).
-
- Drivers with some character, and not too finniky on the more idiotic rules
- are something to be valued - they make the less-than-pleasant experience
- of having to take a bus a bit more bearable. Just a thought.
