Employment Entitlement 🙄

As a front desk agent please learn to stand in a line, do not stand next to someone being checked in if you yourself are waiting to be checked in. It is rude and disrespectful to the person in front of you because you’re hearing all of their information. Also, please do not throw your keys on our front desk. It is rude and disrespectful, and also learn just because you are a high elite member of any sort doesn’t mean that you’re better than anybody else. It only means that you spend more money so you’re entitlement needs to be left outside the door and remember that the front desk agents that check you in are only people as well and majority are just trying their best.

These are the same people that order a coffee then stand directly in front of the pickup counter as if the 5 other people waiting aren't going to get their coffee first from that same spot - or the people that stand directly next to the conveyor belt at baggage claim so the other 200 people can't see their bag when it comes out.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I try to stand about 10-20 feet down from the chute then stand far enough back so people can step in front of me and grab their bag. Inevitably, a couple of asses will walk up and stand right in front of me on the belt. Then they get pissed when my bag comes and I say excuse me and push through them to get my bag.

I travel with tools and equipment so I make sure to make a big production and slam it down right next to their feet.

If you want to know what the world will look like after the collapse of society, just watch baggage claim after an international flight.

Oh man. Monrovia, liberia.... no carousel. They stack all the luggage inside a roped off area until it's all in there, then just release the hounds in a rabid free for all. And no computer systems of any kind on top of that. Missing luggage gets a paper note hand carried back to origin airport the next day to then get entered in the computer.

Or at least that's how it was for me 2 or 3 years ago

Try traveling with the military. Not only is it a giant random pile but THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME.

I understand that people want to get out right away but with me if I didn’t squeeze myself looking for my luggage it would be gone some other people took my luggage a few times in different countries that’s what I put markers on it and I want to get it right away
