Not doing elite boarding is one thing....this gate agent's response is another. (Although it sounds like some pax weren't making it any better...or better put, I wouldn't have reacted the same way.) She seems unhappy and not able to handle what is a very stressful job more often then not, sounds like she would be happier in another line of work but who am I am to say.
