Hello all. So I pour Diet Coke in the sky for a living and it comes with pretty cool perks, such as free air travel. A cool part is that I can sometimes bring friends with me. There is a caveat that you have to be professional when you travel and can risk losing your job.
With that being said, I recently went on a trip with a good friend of mine. When we were leaving to head home, we had two flights to take. Upon landing, we had to clear customs and pick up our bags and recheck them. When we get to the recheck spot, we got informed that our bags were lost. My friend proceeds to go nuts. Like absolutely lose it, which is not okay. My friend knew about the fact that they had to show decorum because I could quite literally lose my job for it but they continued to go be beserk.
I asked them to calm down and they didn’t and instead, they lashed out at me. So, I went to the agent, told them to get security and had them cancel their flight on my benefits. Why did I have them call security? Because you’re causing a scene at an airport and a security officer is better than the police. Anyway, I left them to their tantrum and went on my merry way.
Obviously weren’t not friends anymore. So and so is also attempting to take me to small claims to refund them their alternative travel expenses. I’ve received mixed responses from our mutual friend group.
So what do you think guys?
Here are what netizens think:
All of these fools acting out at airports should get their flights cancelled. Full-on timeouts until they remember how to behave like civilized adults.
So sometimes when you fly somewhere you need to do it in two or more steps. You fly to one airport to catch a flight to another airport. In some cases the time you have to catch the next flight is not enough for the ground crew to take the luggage out, separate and sort it and get it on the next plane. In this case your suitcase is considered “lost”.
