"two £1.40s, please" [the £1.40 would only be valid to the Fulwell Grange]. I duely obliged only for them to go all the way to Seaburn! I just thought "really?" - no doubt they'll be the first to moan in June (hint, hint)
If someone argues the toss over something, like "the fare to the Fox & Hounds was £1.40 yesterday" and then throws a tantrum about it being £1.80 then it will stick in your mind - and then you'll be looking out (and hoping) they get off there.
QR codes help prevent fraudulent use or underpayment, but at companies where it's not used, then it's completely reliant on the driver to check tickets. I've had loads of people underpaying for Network One (ie boarding with a Z1 in Z2), or just boarding with GNE-only mobile tickets hoping I glance and don't notice.
