I think you're being unfair.
Assume that he hasn't been trained on the presence of Oyster and what
to do with them. How would you expect him to behave when presented
(from his point of view) with some oik claiming that this blank lump of
plastic entitles him to a discount on his ticket?

He's pretended, over six months after they started, that he's never seen
one of them before.

Training or not, I think you're being extraordinarily generous to an
obvious grumpy jobsworth.
