I don't know what this guy's agenda is, but it was pretty obvious (at least to me) that he has one.
He's employed in that role, he's not a freelancer. His agenda is to follow his job description and keep that job.
OK, OK: human nature being what it is, I'm sure he's discovered some passengers will give him generous amounts of money for putting a little more effort into what he is employed to do. A bit like the waiter in my Austin hotel breakfast room, who follows me round the buffet trying to help me select items
