Done like a kipper!
Tower Gateway to St Thomas’ Hospital. Mobility scooter, bloke was chatty, no immediate alarm bells.
Get to outpatients. Rolls out without paying, call him back and asks me to tap terminal with a blue card holder. It’s a bus pass…
We then go through the act of looking for a card for a couple of mins, when he says ‘sorry, I’m going to have to leave you short’.
Pulls out cash worth half the value of the fare from a pocket he didn’t check throughout the act
I’d wager a bet that was not his first rodeo ⚠️
