Default Changeless bus passenger denied boarding

board if the driver has to root around for loads of shrapnel because
some wally wants to pay with a large denomination note. If you think
I'm being unreasonable then go into a corner shop and see the reaction
you get if you try and buy a mars bar with a 50 quid note.


I quite often pay for my cup morning cup of tea with a twenty. That
cuppa costs less than a bus ticket. What's the problem? Now, if the
bus ticket cost something like 63p, or GBP1.63 then I could understand
that it's a bit annoying cos the driver would need to find several coins
of different denominations. But he doesn't. Bus tickets are an integer
number of pounds. Therefore he needs one denomination. No rooting
around for loads of shrapnel required.
