Upgrade reliability-LCD display or human agent
Whenever I see my name on the upgrade list on a LCD display, I am pleased. I feel that a computer is handling my upgrades. When there is no display and I had to approach a gate agent and request, I feel "inferior" and I feel disappointed by even a legitimate, "many are ahed of you" you don't stand a chance response.
Are display upgrade waitings and "human" interface handled the same way?
