Not a BA story (but crucially it
does not involve luggage tags)
A large family (about 5) were taking an age checking in at the counter (and of course only 1 counter was open at the time)
The chap in front of me looked "hot and bothered" possibly even slightly "tired and emotional" and walk to the a member of staff and said something along the lines of "I'm a gold member, someone needs to check me in now or I will miss my flight. I'm only in this line because the check-in machine said there's was something wrong with my booking, You need to do something now, I'm a gold frequent flyer etc." with a lot of gesturing, really quite aggressive.
The Lady just said "if you're a gold member, you should know how it works then. There's the manager at the service desk, you can go and talk to her". If she had been a BA member a Gold ticket could have been in order.
