For shits and giggles, I'm tracking my turnouts stupid passengers today.

Turnouts
Walk-on passengers who can't read: 16
Wanted to leave a car for someone else to pick up: 1
Showed up before the friend who had all their tickets: 1
Info questers: 1
Got here and changed their minds: 1

People I wish were turnouts
Ask where to go immediately after I tell them where to go: 8
Thought their reservation was their ticket: 4
"Where are you going?" "The ferry/the San Juans/IDK": 1
People who don't tell me about the small army of children in the back when I ask how many people there are: TOO DAMN MANY

you should randomly select an island for them

Always tempting

just send them all to Shaw island

That'd be rude to the nuns.

I have tried to count how often I have to explain how a turnstile works.

But it’s about 1/3 tourists.

I'm glad we got rid of ours years ago. They were so short lived here.

Do you manually collect tickets?

We have hand scanners.

People, kids may sail free and may sometimes act like small woodland animals on crack, but they're still people and therefore I still need to know about them!
