I realized (as I was commuting) this morning, that some people must live near timezone borders.

How does that work for you? Do you think in work time at home? Home time at work?

It must be easier these days with smartphones and smart watches automatically adjusting time according to you location?

Share your experience please, I'm curious!

Do you have procedures to accommodate tourists who made the mistake and arrived an hour late?

If there's room we just stick 'em on the next tour, easy as. However if they cannot be rescheduled, corporate's policy is to keep the money and say "sorry, we told you it's non-refundable."

Yeah I ain't staying here much longer.

How often does that happen? That's kinda sad :/

Maybe 1-3 times a month? We do our best to let customers know when setting up reservations over the phone "Ey, just so you know, corporate don't do refunds, and we're in EST. Factor that in when you plan to drive here plz."
