When this happens (and it usually only happens at smaller stations), I usually try to capture the check-in agent's attention in a polite manner and simply state I am getting close to the cutoff time for a flight.

And you got $600 voucher besides - a really good amount these days. What could be better? I wish I had been in your place.
Meh, I can't think of a situation in which I would trade a >24hr delay for $600. To each his own as always.
