I feel like they along with the ticket checkers also escalated the situation be refusing to look at the ticket closer...

If electronic or printed fare media is unreadable by MBTA staff or MBTA fare equipment, a receipt from an MBTA Fare Vending Machine, Retail Sales Terminal, or an MBTA website must be presented in order for a replacement/exchange to be provided. Damaged CharlieCards or Tickets may be replaced at the CharlieCard store if they can be determined to be valid.

That's not what the statement of tariffs says.

Of course the ticket verifiers simply implied, according to the Globe piece, that the passenger could have shown his faded ticket to the North Station window attendant and received a new pass.
So we have ticket checkers who are performing platform checks that seemingly violate the T's published fare rules, instructing passengers on procedures that may or may not actually be true. Wonderful.
