They could just show safety videos from the last 20 years.

End ro end.

On a continous loop.

And has a link to choose seats.

Two problems:
1. I don't have any active reservations
2. I booked a last minute ticket yesterday morning for a flight later in the day and there were no c+ seats available.

If this is in response to my booking, this shows DL IT at its best!
Did you follow the link to see which flight it thought you were on?

Completely agree. Too bad I haven't gotten a Porsche ride to just double check!

Well, "hate" is a strong word, just trying to follow the lead here. I suppose it's more like "pity".

It goes to the "find your trip" page with an error saying
We couldn't find any reservation with the information you have provided. Please check your info and try again.

Why can't they set the toasters in the SkyClubs so that you don't have to run your bagels, muffins, etc., thru 3 or 4 times to toast them?

I don't usually toast my bread products before consuming, but remembering from my college days don't those types of toasters have a knob or dial to control the speed of the belt and hence the degree of done-ness? Or do they remove that in the SC to prevent people like you who are up to no good and would screw with it

I do believe that the toasting belt speed regulation knob DOES exist!

Toaster Warning - do NOT run your buttered bagel thru the toaster butter side down, thinking you'll get the perfect edge crust. A cloud of bagel smoke will ensue.

Please don't ask how I know this. @:-)

The thing is, the sort of person where it doesn't occur to them "hmm, the bread will flip over when it reaches the end of the belt", is also not the sort of person who reads signs. When I took this picture, the person using it had just retrieved one slice with jam, had a second one with jam about to come out, and was loading a third one with peanut butter on top when an employee came over and yelled at her.
