I tried to ask the check-in crew to see if they can do something about it and they couldn't care less about it. They simply ignored me (Very rude) and pretended I was not there.
Oh well, what can I do. Just sucked it up I guess. I wouldn't be so mad/up if the crew had responded nicely. Next time I'll video tape the whole thing and put it on you-tube. I think at least I deserved to being treated humanly.
Welcome to FT! Sorry for the problems you had at EWR. I think apart from taking your business elsewhere, there isn't a lot you can do!

Frankly, complaining to Continental, IMHO, is a waste of time--you get more empathy than problem resolution.
