I asked for a supervisor - not that the bag tags were a big deal to me - just that I thought that the ticket counter agent should get it right for the future. She got a supervisor - and he ALSO denied me the tags!! I pointed out - VERY CALMLY, I assure you - that priority baggage handling is a "SkyTeam Elite Published Benefit" - and was STILL DENIED!
