I watched the guy loading the bus pick up my saxophone case and throw it carelessly onto the bus with a loud noise as the case hit the metal surface of the bus. I guess it wouldn't be a greyhound trip if you weren't inconvenienced somehow. But since that incident I always make a sign saying something like "Fragile Musical Instrument, Please Handle with Care" and attach it to my case. I also stand next to my stuff if at all possible, so that when they pick up my case to load onto the bus I can very kindly tell them to be careful.

Get to the gig early. If you have extra time, you can suss out the situation there, and as you say so well, wash your hands and transition between hats.
