I was behind a gentleman and when he approached the top of the queue,the agent from Y desk called him over,to which he replied:"I am a oneworld Emerald,I am entitled to First Class check in". The agent told him that she would happily check him in,as the other desks are busy processing other customers.He refused and kept waiting for the F desk to finish processing the other customer. I quickly approached the Y desk and I was done with check in before the F desk started processing him.

It would be OT,but the guy had BA Gold tags on his hand baggage.

I mean,why are some people happy to waste their time and the time of others,just to be able to check in at the F desk?
