One was constantly on the phone and did not help any of the stranded passengers. At 0030 (about 90 minutes after we landed and had gotten in line) the individual dealing with passengers suddenly puts up the "position closed" sign and leaves. At this point, there was still about 100 people in line. Somebody in line asks her why she is leaving. She yells in a loud voice, "My shift is over and I'm not getting paid to stay."
Been at that counter and had the exact same thing happen when they cancelled my flight back to ONT (last flight of the night). She just put up the sign and walked away. Wonder if it was the same woman.....
