They asked me to unload all the freight, then wheel it behind the wall so they could look for a specific person’s name on a package. They caught that guy.
The RCMP also showed up in force once, 4 cars skidded up as our bus pulled in, one officer telling me to stay put as he came through the ticket office. The pulled a guy off the coach in handcuffs.
One of the drivers also talked about meeting Marilyn Monroe in Jasper where she was filming. Said she was a delight and that Robert Mitchum was the opposite.

Oh my God. I hated Greyhound for this crap.
I had one time where I was loading the East Bus and my Boss comes up to me and says:
"Dont load this bag. Just leave it here."
Its a giant black suitcase. Fine by me, I can load more freight. Its his call. Its unusual because luggage was told to me to be the priority.
I was new. Unbeknownst to me...this was a suitcase full of drugs. They wanted the Bus to pull out so the owner would cause a scene and identify himself.
This was the first time I was physically assaulted.
The guy comes storming off the Bus...goes apes### and slams me against the Bus for not loading his bag, then the Cops show up with the Drug Dog and everything goes straight to Hell.
And then the Cops stroll out..."Good Job Son!"
Are you serious with me right now?
"We got him!"
Listen here Columbo...you could have said something to me. You know...a little 'head's up?' I'd still have helped you!
"But we got him tho!"
Yeah. All well and good for the ass clown who didnt get his skull smashed into the side of a Greyhound Bus by a drug dealer you clownshoes bastard!!
