Good to know. Our layover were 3.5h and 1h, so nowhere near the 12/24h cutoffs. I thought she was also perhaps thinking that I wanted to also be "checked in" for the other flight to receive a BP, which I didn't really care about.
In any case, I was hungry and knew I'd see my bags again in LAX so it was just a curious experience.
