There's nothing new in this. I can remember many, many years ago having quite an argument with a booking clerk at Birmingham Snow Hill trying to sell me a ticket to Malvern Link.
I asked for a single as I was going home and he said "You want a day return." I said "No, I want a single." This was repeated several times until he said "Look, I'm trying to be save you money - a day return is 6/- (30p), a single is 6/9d (around 33p). Do you still want a single?" I muttered "Thank you very much - I'll have a day return please!"
Difficult to fathom out 50 years ago - not much easier today.
