こんにちは．旅のゴールでもあるポートランドオレゴンも残り1日となりました．
少し前の話ですが，アメリカの交通機関でもあるバス会社Greyhoundのチケットが向こうのミスであっても返金できない件について話しました．アメリカのバス事件in North Dakota
Refundableのチケットを買えばいつでも返金できるのですが，そうでないチケットだと返金できません．でもRefundableのチケット高いんです．
でも私は諦めませんでした．グレイハウンドにもjefferson lineにも電話して確認したら，やっぱり返金できないとのこと．それでも諦めず，カスタマーセンターにメールを送りました．
バスがキャンセルされた件，バスが遅れてきて乗れなかった件の2件について確認を取ったところ，すんなりと返金ができると言うのです．．．
遅延の件

キャンセルされた件
●●●,
I apologize I saw they were booked online and thought they had been printed. Unfortunately, we will only be able to provide a refund for the cancelled route, as the other ticket is marked non-refundable. The ticket may be used for up to one year from the date of purchase, but will be subject to a reissue fee.
We have processed your refund for confirmation number●●● and a check in the amount of $●●● will go out in the mail by Monday July 30th; if not before.
We certainly do apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
Sincerely,
●●●
Refund Coordinator
どうなってるんでしょう．
ちなみにいずれもNon-refundable ticketなのに，やればできるじゃないか．これ以上体力を使わせないでくれ．
と言うことで皆さんも諦めずにカスタマーセンターに電話ではなくメールを！！
