They’ll also leave a note in your record to log this call, informing other agents that under no circumstances are they to help, as you’ve already taken 3 minutes of agent time… plus your account shows you had two trips to the Polaris buffet so you’re borderline unprofitable. And once in 2018 you asked for slippers AND a mattress pad…and the flight was only 11hrs 59mins…
yes, I’m exaggerating (not by much), but this is what GS is becoming. If it hasn’t already…
