If they were helping another customer on the virtual queue, are you suggesting that they should hang off on the other customer, just because there is a person asking for assistance in person in a method that they (somehow) cannot support at that given moment? OP had an agent helping him with a mobile device, which was not resolving the issue, and they insisted to talk to the agent's colleagues who are busy with something else. How is this UA not helping the impacted traveler vs. traveler had a misunderstanding on who are they being helped by, which OP had admitted?

​​​​​​You could literally place anything to provide some type of courtesy heads up, but those geniuses chose a trash bin; it's like no one has ever worked in a customer facing environment.
A sign that says "DO NOT APPROACH THE AGENT" would generate a similar response here on FT. #outrage
