Jefferson Lines Omaha Kansas City recent customer reviews

The trainee was very nice, the supervisor was rude. We had to get off the bus for fuel at a sketchy Casey's in the middle of nowehere. When arriving at the Casey's in I beilive Maryville, my brother wanted to grab my purse off the bus before everyone was even off the bus, the supervisor was very rude and sarcastic to him. I wanted to say something, but she was already yelling at the passengers prior and threatened to leave a man at the gas station for smoking in the bathroom. I believe that's what set her off from the beginning. All in all, the supervisor was very sarcastic with her comments the entire time and had little to no customer service skills. The bus was also an hour late to the destination, half an hour late to picking us up, and I almost lost my hotel reservation.
