I get that, but sometimes (or most times), it would be most efficient in the end to get a concierge.
Something like this can be quickly done by them. I disagree with the notion that the concierge should be avoided for anything "simple". It's a case-by-case basis, and if you only do this on occasion, no harm, no foul. It's the infamous SEs (that concierges have their constant radar onto) that cause the most unnecessary work for them.
It's not like you're asking to have a specially prepared gift basket ready at your J seat upon boarding.
