MBTA tokens

So the MBTA was late, and I was inconvenienced. I sent them a message through their web form and asked for a refund. This is their policy - more than 30 minutes late, get a refund. It's the first thing in their Customer Bill of Rights

So, today in the mail I got a letter from MBTA and two tokens (in the mail! think of the postage!) and an acknowledgment that they had done research and concluded that on the day in question the T really had been late.

The other token was for Greg, who I was still in a relationship with IN F**KING APRIL when this happened. This was also back before most of the stops on the T took the Charlie Pass which obviates the need for the T tokens. I'm not even sure if I can use these anymore.

I assume this is some sort of "oh crap, let's get rid of these tokens tout de suite" program, though I would not be surprised to learn that it really does take them almost five months to issue refunds.
