I'm curious why there are so many data points with agents. Does self-tag reject it? Or are they rejecting an already tagged bag? That's kind of ridiculous.

I saw them bend the rules for someone at SFO the other day. She was 4.5 hours early.

Tipped employees often have incentive to bend the rules in the customer's favor.
