I know she can be. I'm just saying that for an agent to go from helpful to an attitude of "not caring" is something that a normal person would assume was caused by an interaction. No?

You are correct the exception is once the international legs have all been flown.

People use the term "dragon" just as much as they use the word "kettle." Neither is inherently derogatory - it's just the idea that a "dragon" guards a "castle," whether that castle is a Sky Club or the sterile area past the TSA checkpoint.
'Dragon' is typically an unyielding and hard to deal with moat guard... The fact that the OP called the one upstairs an 'agent' would tend to provide provenance to that being the case
