Gosh.. How many people even know nowadays what a Mr. Yuck sticker is. Had them plastered all over my house when I was a kid. With all the color changed with delta lately not sure where the green fits in. Maybe so there isn't a mile long line in ATL when there is a weather system and people just walk by..

But, what's the purpose of that particular sign? I don't see any sort of help counter around?

It was just past the main customer service area at ATL E centerpoint, so you would normally see it coming from the other direction.

today’s inconsequential rant is that my new PM bag tags don’t reflect my MM status

You are supposed to be able to check into SC when using AMEX Plat benefit for entrance by just getting BP scanned in delta app if the card is in the app as payment option....no luck twice! Attendant said she heard it only works when that is the only card in the app....So now I had to go through the tremendous effort to produce the card!

You're supposed to also use your bright red MM brag tags, although it would be more better if both were metal for that cowbell effect.

The agent can't be correct -- I have three cards in "My Wallet" and BP scan works for me (using AMEX Plat as entry credential)

I am tired of the go-carts in the airport. I know they are for people with disabilities, and maybe those on a really tight connection, etc but the drivers of these carts are far from decent. I saw one almost run over a lady in T4 at JFK and another clip someone at the very same airport. I am not sure if that's a random pathetic thing, but I'd like to complain about it.

It stands out. Not everything has to be exactly color matched. Do you get confused when you board the plane and the FAs are wearing purple?

Pathetic complaint: every time someone runs into a website bug or a poorly informed agent they just assume it's a policy change and they start a thread.
