The Irate Customer

A crowded airline flight was canceled.  A single agent was trying to do her best to rebook a long line of inconvenienced travelers.  Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk.  He slapped his ticket on the counter and said “I HAVE to be on flight 409 and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”

The agent looked at him and said “I am sorry, sir, I’ll be happy to try to help you, but, I’ve got to help these folks first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”

The passenger was unimpressed.  He loudly enough that all the passengers in line could hear “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?”

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone, “May I have your attention please,” she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. “We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14.”

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the agent, gritted his teeth and swore “F*** You!”   Without flinching, she smiled and  said, “I’m sorry sir, you’ll have to get in line for that too.”
