This happens all time at LHR when I'm flying J but checking in at the First section. If you know the T5 layout, then you know that there are always a few guardians wasting time near the 'entrance'. "Are we flying First today sir?" "No, I'm not not flying First but I'm going to check my bag in here,(show gold card)"
[*]Make the assumption directly to the passenger. "Economy is this way, sir." "Excellent, could you tell me the way to First?" "Erm, this lady will help you right away." (Singapore Airlines, surprisingly.)
I had this on Thai once, verbatim.

Really???

Were you drunk and rambunctious?
