This thread on MSE is hilarious, the OP could be a troll but if they are genuine it shows exactly what's wrong with some passengers' attitudes in relation to paying for their journey!
I hope everyone else finds it as amusing a read as I did
So, my cars gone and im using the train to see folks over the New Year.
It is a long distance trip and its coming out at £66 for an open return.
Now my thing is this..
Last time i paid that price for this journey i was not stopped ONCE, not once!!!!
Now, i have to change twice, why should i not carry money in my pocket and pay when im approached? Even if i fib about where i got on?
IT'S THEIR JOB TO CHECK PEOPLE FOR TICKETS!!
Im not responsible for them not checking the carriages whilst they joke and eat scones!
I feel cheated and robbed when im not checked on a train after paying £60 in fares, so much so, that when im checked i feel relieved and quite content.
Why is ths even an issue??
CHECK ME AND I'LL BUY ONE OFF OF YOU BECAUSE YOURE DOING YOUR JOB
DONT CHECK ME AND (FROM NOW ON) I WILL POTENTIALLY GET A FREE RIDE.
PS - Dont whine to me about fines - - - - not interested.
