Took the tube to work this morning. The gate failed to read my card at the
exit gate but because I was walking so fast I was most of the way through
before the gates closed. Anyway , went to the ticket machine and sure
enough
I had a non complete journey fair deducted so I went to the ticket office.
The ****** in their , after chatting to his mate for 2 minutes and
deigning
to serve me, tried to convince me that the 6 quid the gate had taken off
was actually the balance on my card before I entered the system and he
then took ANOTHER amount off for the journey I'd just done. Since I knew
how
much I had on there as I'd topped it up only 50 minutes earlier I knew the
**** was lying and made a big bloody fuss until he refunded me the 6 quid.

Now I've seen this guy before working there months ago so he's not new
and it clearly said "CHARGE" on his screen next to the 6 quid so quite
obviously he was attempting to defraud me. Should I report him to his
station
manager? Has anyone else come across this sort of thing?

Irrespective of fraud and spelling mistakes, actually, if you had taken an
extra second to make sure the doddery old Oyster card reader had woken up,
there would have been no problem. A case of more haste less speed, (or a tap
in time saves nine)!
