No, he was aware I had short checked a bag - the checked bag allowance was showing as zero in his system.
UA showed me 2 checked bags outgoing, one checked bag incoming, but UA already takes status (*G) into account.
Also, the information shown by UA can be sketchy at times....

Interesting about the base allowance - so is it a given that checked bags allowed should be the same both outgoing and incoming ?

you should get one standard bag included in your ticket, maybe the guy at YYZ didn't know you short check a bag and therefore he though that you've used your base allowance already. since UA is the first marketing carrier, UA dictates the base allowance and the information has to be printed on the receipt.
