- Flight attendants.won’t help you stow your bags. They also complain about being low paid. Solution:
- Is it actually worse to wait on hold than to wait in line? You’re waiting either way. Yet if you’re in the airport, maybe it seems worse?
So glad @united got rid of in person customer service on site – it’s awesome to sit on hold in an airport for 45 min trying to make flight changes that YOU caused. pic.twitter.com/E8yQ7RCr7m

I wasted my time on the “Robocop” “Chase” video so you don’t have to.
Complete and utter clickbait.
That safety briefing was horribly awkward. The passengers are due settlement money. I would have not felt like I could take that FA seriously. Did he also dance a jig? Was there a tip hat?
If I am mysteriously followed by that robot scooter , I will squeeze between parked autos to escape .
Gary,
The link does not appear to offer the deal to holders of the AmEx Marriott Bonvoy personal card ($95 annual fee) that was the successor to the Starwood personal card. Is that correct?
Lame video
I always test the temperature of the water before spaying it on myself. Many times it is very cold. Other times it is way too hot. I don’t just climb in the shower for a surprise.
I know the lunacy of what I’m about to say. If I had an issue that needed an agent and my choices were to call and have it resolved in 45 minutes or drive/wait in line/talk face to face all taking 2 hours, I’d do the latter.
