Default Joke

Asking for exact change is a joke. What on earth is so weird about IE cash offices that they above *all other retailers* have a problem on the change front ? I have seen hand scrawled signs indicating exact change only at a few stations, but if I ever turned up with only a fiver and wanted to buy a ticket for €1.50 or something I wouldn't take very well to being told that they couldn't accept my legal tender (and let's face it, we're not talking a €500 note here) for a ticket.

And as for this "10 coins only" thing - that is beyond a joke. What next ? "Today is Tuesday and I don't take more than 3 €2 coins on Tuesdays. Come back tomorrow and I'll sell you a ticket. But don't try coming with any of those awful 50c coins - I'm fed up of getting them on Wednesdays."
