What did we learn?

travels vicariously through others“I love hearing where they’re going

and where they’re from... I don’t think I’ll ever get to go”

doesn’t feel respected by other employees

“least favorite part is the way other employees treat us”

long processes make time go by faster

“the time goes by faster because it’s a longer process”

wheelchairs solve other needs“90% don’t know where they’re going, don’t speak english, or

their bags are too heavy”
