Here the driver does go on the road for their last day to give them a chance to say "goodbye" to their customers. They will usually lighten them up a bit but not always. They have cake and most of the retirees will come and help mark the occasion. They will present the driver with a plaque and, if applicable, give the spouse some flowers.
They will then wait until the retiree has exhausted all of his vacation/personal/sick time before even thinking about putting the run up for bid just in case he "changes his mind". Been there 20 years and have yet to have one "change his mind".
