virgin
This actually happened about 6 months ago at the check-in desk for
Virgin Airlines in Sydney, Australia:
A crowded Virgin flight was
cancelled after Virgin's 767's had been withdrawn from service. A single
attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travellers.
Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his
ticket down on the counter and said,"I HAVE to be on this flight and it
HAS to be FIRST CLASS!"
The attendant replied ," I'm sorry sir,I'll be
happy to try to help you,but I've to help these people first, and I'm
sure we'll be able to work something out".
The passenger was
unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could
hear,"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the attendant
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 folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at
the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "**** You!".
Without
flinching, she smiled and said, 'I'm sorry,sir,but you'll have to get in
line for that too."
