At the MLL, very rude agent told my wife that our flight was already boarding and
she was going to miss the flight because it was leaving in 10 minutes. Despite departure boards not showing boarding and no text alert.

I asked a few minutes later. Didn't get told I would miss the flight, but was told it was definitely boarding. I asked if she had checked DCS and how many were left to board. She claimed it was definitely boarding, and they would never disclose that information. Despite other agents having given it to me 100+ times.

Actual answer: I got the text shortly after I left the MLL, and they hadn't even started Z1 boarding when I got to the gate a few minutes later.

I rarely write in to complain about staff, but her crappy attitude and complete unwillingness to take the 15 seconds to actually check frigging DCS are going to earn her a note to customer relations.
In the concierges defence, I have found that pre-security reprinting of a BP, the vaccine proof is usually asked, 100% if you are checking a bag.
