Thought this was funny
For all Employees Who Work With Rude Customers.
An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney some
weeks ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when
confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. A
crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s 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withdrawn from service.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 got 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, 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 Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F... You!" Without
flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to fly
QANTAS for that service."
