@MrGoat 💯

@Boyceaz funny story, I flew my wife out to meet me one time and extended my work trip. She doesn’t fly a lot. I told her: “your gate in DFW will be changed, be ready.” She asked how I could predict that.

The gate was changed 15min before boarding. So predictable.

@Boyceaz my dude. 🫂

@nonayadambidnes @Boyceaz I’m at a bar watching my Bears embarrass themselves and this came up in conversation with one of the bartenders. Hence the post. 😉

@Boyceaz I’ve been through DFW more times than I can count and this seems plausible. Pappadeaux at A26 FTW.

@MidnightRider that norepinephrine/dopamine/serotonin cocktail can be addictive.

“I understand that you may be unable to do anything but if you can I’d be really grateful.”

She made two calls, rebooked us to another airline and we ended up arriving 4 hours ahead of our original plan. Also on an airline I had some status on, so bonus!

When you have a choice, lead with kindness. It pays dividends.

A story:

Wife and I were taking our first big international vacation. When we got to the airport we were informed that the plane incoming was delayed and we wouldn’t make our connecting flight to our destination, causing us to lose a day from our vacation. There were people working with other ticketing agents who were yelling and getting angry.

I talked to the woman there and explained the situation and I ended it with something akin to this.

I do not understand why people feel entitled to mistreat service staff. 1.They are people who are deserving of basic decency. 2. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I’m not saying I’ve never gotten to the salty stage. But that people lead with that approach boggles the mind.

@aasteppin @th3j35t3r yeah, one of the nice things is we're not dicks when someone asks for help here. Some people seem to get off on that kind of behavior. Here we splat them.
