No No No, in these enlightened times, anyone not paying absolute full fare deserves every abusive comment they get from customer service staff.  Its freeloading like this that puts the jobs of honest hardworking rail workers at risk.  And unless full fare paying passengers are treated differently than discount passengers, why the hell would you pay full fare?  To quote Slamming Sam Kekovich "You know it makes sense".
