Why yes you would if you knew about the various alternative ways I was told about AFTER i missed my flight! hahaha
there's a separate line for people without checkin luggage, a supervisor desk (actually 4 of them) which had a lot of people jumping in b/c their flights are closing, and i was told if it was really closing soon you can just jump in any of the check in lines and budge in and demand you get checked in.
really? i don't know. .but i was told that I should have just gone to ANY agent ...

ok..
