me: hey, I've never got a printed TGV ticket from the machines, let's do that :)

the machine: literally just prints me a receipt with the ticket data in it and a QR code

@kitten in NL what you get is a ticket that looks like a paper ticket but actually it contains an NFC chip which I think is pretty cool if a bit wasteful.

It's also more expensive, because of course it is it contains single use electronics.

@ayke oh yeah, we have that too! and yeah, feels a bit more wasteful... but they do push a lot of ads and stuff telling people that it's reusable even if it's paper, and to not throw it away

with how much the seat reservations cost I'd expect them to print it on currency paper at the very least

a cropped screenshot of an sncb ticket machine, it shows the current departures for Antwerpen, a man in an sncb uniform smiling strangely and kinda forced and the text "Have a nice journey !" above it
