I know, looking back I should have been more vocal. This singular male passenger was an arm length's away from the gate agent. I had no reason to believe he was not in line for zone 1/2
I wish I could post photo (apparently I'm too new to FT) of the gate area as I found some photos online.

Their customer service are idiots. Just file a complaint with a government agency. Or better yet sue them. A lot of us would support you.
I've taken voluntary bumps before and never had an issue.
Is it actually worth going through a government agency (like DOT?) In Canada it does nothing.
