The Lounge attendant was actually showing helpful initiative IMO in adjusting the boarding pass to suit local customs.
On LAX-AKL wouldn't the predominate culture of people on board be that of New Zealand? And NZ has chosen 24 hour on their boarding passes given that?

When you're in a hole, stop digging, eh ?

You expect the TBIT lounge guardians to decide - for each of the carriers they handle - hmm, 24h clock or 12h ???

Enough already.....I'm going away now to watch some paint dry...

Now that's just plain stupid!

The lounge attendant changed the time format, however, the flight DATE stayed the same!

Besides, if you want to be so pedantic about things, you should at least check the spelling of your posts...by your logic, we should all be scratching our heads wondering what an "Enxperince" was... :P

The KAL lounge is also on Priority Pass if you have a credit card that comes with a membership. Diners Club, at least in the US, is likely going to be an uncommon card in general--not to mention that depending on your issuer, you may be allowed a certain number of free guests with PP (unlike DC).

[Y]ou'll note that they added a p to the end, signifying PM, i.e. the exact same time.

I'm honestly struggling to understand why [you] would find this offensive.
