Olembe me old mucker
Like I say, don't want to stir up trouble about train prices, and I'm not saying that rail retail staff are the most patient lot, but the point is I will give them what they ask for and if they want the cheapest then that is what I will give them. If they ask for a that, they only need to say it once. Imagine the conversation about something else....

Retard: I'd like to buy a CD. One called Abbey Road by The Beatles.

Me: Certainly sir, here it is, that will be £x

R: Is it by the Beatles. I want Abbey Road by the Beatles.

M: Yes sir, Abbey Road by the Beatles.

R: And is it called Abbey Road: I want Abbey Road by the Beatles.

M: Yes sir, this is Abbey Road by the Beatles.

R: And is it performed by the Beatles. I want Abbey Road by the Beatles.


M: Yes sir, Abbey Road by the Beatles.

R: The band known as the Beatles, all of them. I want Abbey Road by the Beatles.

M: Yes, this is Abbey road by the Beatles.

R: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, do they play on this Abbey Road album. I want Abbey Road by the Beatles.

M: Olembe is that you??!?

I'm sure you appreciate the problem

Edit: Clivicus you Shitting Shitty Shit!
I couldn't instill anything in the customer seeing as they weren't listening to a blind word I was saying. They just add "I want the cheapest ticket" on the end of every sentence. If they wanted a ticket from one place to another at the lowest price that is exactly what I would book for them. The point is that if they want the cheapest ticket, for instance, from Birmingham to Southampton for 2 passengers in standard class with a young persons railcard discount (if applicable) travelling out on March 13th at about 10am and back on March 17th at approximately 11am then I will not sell them 12 First class Open returns from Leeds to Canterbury with reservations on the 07.12 from Leeds to Kings Cross on Good Friday and Back on the 23.30 on Easter Monday. They only need to say "I want the cheapest ticket" once. That generally indicates to me that they probably want the cheapest ticket. The one that is the cheapest. The one that cost least, ie is the cheapest. The one that means the lowest financial outlay to themselves, namely the cheapest. The one causing the minimal fiscal disadvantage to themselves, that would be the cheapest one of course. The one which in pecuniary terms results in the lowest fund transfer from Party A (the transport service provider) to Party B (the person or persons utilising train transfer from one location to another).

If it was my train I'd take you all wherever you wanted and charge you nowt, now fuck off and stop picking on me you twats, I don't set the prices.
