I’ve often noticed people in various tube stations trying to sell their used day travel card after they finished their journey, I thought it’s a clever and easy way to recoup some travel expense. So, today, after I finished my train journey and checked out, I looked around at the entrance of Stratford tube station and noticed a small Indian man standing next to a ticketing machine, I thought he looked like someone would want to buy my travel card. So, I decided to try my luck for the first time, I approached him and asked if he wants to buy my card for 3 pounds, but he looked a bit astounded after hearing what I said, told me that he actually works for the station and I should not be doing that, I was then a bit embarrassed and said to him to not worry too much and left. This is definitely not the first time this kind of stupid things happen to me. It’s really annoying that so many other people doing this sort of things can always get away with it, but whenever I try to do it silly things would happen.
