CUNTRYLINK

Went on the countrylink website to book tickets for a trip to one of the grandparents's (<- s'ses's?) and well read below :)



Hi,

When doing a booking (which I have cancelled till your reply) I accidentally filled the form for two adults & a child instead of two half fares and a child at the final price for the adults & child I noticed the child fare was only $1.82 (before gst) however when I started again with the correct half fare entitlement fares the child fare is $76.50 (before gst). I am finding this a little difficult to understand especially as in order to obtain a nsw half fare entitlement card one has to be receiving centrelink benefits which means a very low income yet the fare for the child traveling with two people on those very low income benefits (her parents in this case) is $74.68 more expensive than if they were traveling with someone not eligible for any concession entitlements and therefore more likely to be able to afford the higher child fare. Seems completely backwards don't you agree?
Hopefully you can help me to understand the pricing?

Thanks

You call THIS coffee??!!

After a long early morning train ride back to the city from Goulburn we decided to get off at Macarthur for a cigarette break. As the next city bound train had about 45mins to arrive we thought we'd have a look around Macarthur Square and get some caffeine to go with our nicotine.
So we went to San Churro cafe thingy and I ordered a "coffee". If one could call it that as you will understand from my email below;


Hi,
 
I purchased a "strong flat white" from your store on the 23rd of September around 9.30am and was warned it "may be too strong" as they'd made it with a double shot. Well it was weak as piss! I've had stronger coffees made with instant stuff.
 
My "strong" coffee tasted like warm watery milk with a slight coffee aftertaste. I'm scared to think of what a normal or weak coffee would be - just warmed milk perhaps? It was atrocious.
 
If you're going to sell coffee you should teach your staff how to make something that would pass for coffee.
 
Sincerely
E

Later in the day they replied by offering me a free coffee voucher -um why would I want another shitty coffee?- so I told them they could put the cost of the coffee towards barista lessons for their employees.
