Wow. To use your own analogy, you’re the paper that whips everyone up and makes it 1000x worse.So why is it fair or legal that Metrolink would charge a commuter more if they happen to have a shift finishing at 5pm on Saturday when a football match is being played? I asked the question and neither of the two people referring to me as a 'moaner' (you being one of those) have been able to answer that question.
Running a bus service on a match day for football fans isn't comparable to Metrolink inventing a special inflated fare for match days (which apparently everyone using certain stops pay not just football fans) and not advertising it on their website.
Let's face it you and one other poster are the equivalent of a Brexiteer who refuses to engage in conversation about a valid constructive criticism about Brexit and instead just calls the other person a Remoaner. Why do we now live in a country where consumers can't have their rights respected without someone coming along and criticising them for complaining?
I hope you'll just smile if your employer breaks the law by doing things like not providing you with rest days, not paying you the minimum wage etc. After all it's obvious you don't think people have legal rights anymore isn't it?
Commuters aren’t thick people and will avoid Old Trafford like the plague on matchdays.
As for me supposedly not thinking anyone has legal rights anymore over having to pay 50p (or whatever <£1 amount it is) more to use the met on a matchday, I have no words
Ps I have happily “pointed out” (read: kicked up a massive fuss and threatened to look at legal options) to my employer that they have workers’ rights laws before so maybe try a different angle?
