If they've been around for a while, I'm guessing the trolley driver has seen more than one drunk Villager, waving and screeching at the trolley as it went by...so why wouldn't they think it was simply déjà vu?

We took 2 trolley tours and they only opened the doors once on one of them and that was at the Fenney sales office. We were invited to get out and stretch and have a potty break or quick walk of the nature path. Otherwise like a previous post mentioned, they have a scripted tour monologue.

I'm getting the feeling that someone in this thread is one of the people who ran into the street and tried to jump on the pedal party during the Irish parade. SMH.

Does this mean the OP will "never" go back to the restaurant?

I think you passed judgement waaaay to soon. When we took our trolley tour the doors never opened...why would they? Cranky old people...sheeesh!

Maybe the drivers have had so much or so many experiences of residents/visitors thinking they were a transportation/ride that they have concluded to save time it is best to just not respond.

As a result his action appears "unfriendly".

I think the driver was just following the rules he was given.

The most bizarre element to this story is that someone dined at Arnold Palmer.

Hopefully, it means he will “never” try to address a group of trolley passengers again.

The post wrt the spiked Arnold Palmers was hilarious.

I'm guessing that the OP expected sympathy. Oops.

The OP is the same person who bought a doorbell to put the bell by his wife’s bedside when she was bed-ridden. In order that he could hear when she needed him. It is in the door bell thread. I can see such a kind person welcoming future newbies to TV. I’m afraid some of the responses here sound a bit childish.
However, my partner drives a tour bus for living. He said he would not have opened the door either. Strangers do not know who you are.
