And most often if there is someone standing behind you they will
probably hand your ticket back to you. Somehow the barriers find a way
to spit your ticket from the bottom, in the opposite direction. If
no-one stands behind you it will probably be just behind you on the
ground. Wonder if it's actually a "feature" and not a "bug" just so the
gestapo can make more money from you when they dont believe the gate ate
your ticket, perhaps make you buy a ticket if youre on the outside.
*sigh* i think ill go play the pokies instead, more chance of getting
something back.
