My read on the OP was that arrival at the airport was at T-75, 15 minutes before the check-in desk was supposed to have closed...and no one was there. If I've interpreted this correctly, I think that the OP has a very valid issue. I'd start by calling Customer Service and seeing what happens there.
Cheers.
