To me it’s really none of anyone’s business. It doesn’t take a Rhodes scholar to see the many reasons why there could be need to travel that aren’t related to his day job. Perhaps he wanted to leave the JS for commuters or simply didn’t want to travel and have a game face on. Again, the reasons aren’t anyone’s business. Heck, Herb Kelleher was known to fly AA when he needed to go somewhere that wasn’t on his own metal.

if you’re fixating on a 1/2 ounce bag of pretzels all I can say Is that fine, but you’re missing the genuine emotions of the interaction and the larger message everyone could learn from.
