You're over reacting a bit, my point is there is plenty wrong with service in the airline industry and in US. Overall, having seperate receipts for a $10 charge seems pretty insignificant.
You are really BSing me now, aren't you?
Whether it's $1, $10, or $100, doesn't matter. I am still forced to go to a US Air counter to ask for a separate receipt, and account for that separate expense.
Not only does it make me do more work, it potentially delays my expenses because on every expense report I need to justify why I couldn't have bought the ticket ahead of time (the accountants don't really care that I was on the road and had to fly last minute due to customer care issues).
So far it has cost me $100+, and now every time I fly US Air, I have to go to a counter after checking in at a kiosk, wait in line, talk to a US Air CSR, to get the receipt - this adds another 10-20 minutes that I have to get to the airport earlier to to do, in addition to going through security to catch my flight.
Then I have to record it as a separate expense, because it's on a separate receipt, put comments and explain why I had to call in the purchase, rather than finding some internet hotspot to buy the tickets.
You're really clueless about business travel, are you not?
