What cheeses me off

FYI @drron you can top up Opal (registered or not) at machine at any NSW railway station - just need the card and a debit/credit card.

Doesn’t help when you live in QLD. And arriving at night so really want to be mucking around at the airport station.

Guess it depends on your definition of mucking around - tap opal, press button, tap credit card - 5 seconds at most when you are at the station anyway seems like much less mucking around than you have had trying to register cards.

Also for late night arrival Uber will be quicker.

and possibly not much more for two on the train (even with a Gold card). Unless looking to take the bus?

Speaking of….

WCMO - partner has a Gold Opal and likes to take the 350 bus home instead of an Uber!

Fortunately, it doesn’t go to/from SYD T1….

It's quite an interesting time of life when your financial demands are such that you can afford to only work with clients who bring satisfaction.

Sorry you couldn’t make it today. Hope things are on the improve.

CMRO it did. Lousy timing.

WCMO is sneaky EFTPOS machines that don't show the card surcharge until *after* you tap. I disagree with the surcharges so always choose another payment method when presented with them.

Bought something for $39.99. EFTPOS machine screen said $39.99. Tapped and screen changed briefly to $40.43 before spitting out receipt. I had words to the shop assistant about deceptive practices. This was soon escalated to the manager. I think she realised there were diminishing returns by continuing to argue with me. I eventually got my surcharge back.
