I find it interesting that this company sell tickets to minor children without parental supervision. If a child decides to 'Runaway' (a crime in many locations), all they have to do is go to the local Greyhound station and buy at ticket. If it is one going to meet a molester (another criminal act), they again will sell the ticket. It seems that they are facilitating a crime.
Then again selling a ticket is essentially enterring into a contract for serves. Now where can a minor enter into a contract without parental consent? It seems that they are placing themselves in a situation in which they can be sued by someone.
Any lawyers want to weigh in on this concept? Then when you catch your child running away, you go to get the ticket refunded and they give excuses that they don't have the money available to give the refund. The first clerk stated that he should have enough money at about 7 pm after they sell some tickets, the original tickets were purchased the same day, and call back then.
Call back at 6:45 pm and find that a new clerk is on duty and the other went off duty at 5 pm. And you guessed it, the new clerk does not have the money to refund the ticket either. Maybe someone from Greyhound can explain this and their ticketing policies that seem to facilitate criminal acts.
