Travel Agents that Go Postal
I saw a huge catfight at the travel agency the other day. Two travel agents–one younger, one older. The older one was perturbed at being bombarded with questions from the younger one. The younger one went postal. It got so bad these guys had to come break it up. Some really unprofessional stuff. Lots of shouts from bystanders along the lines of, “Cut it out–we have guests here!”. Meanwhile, I was being motioned to by the lady at the front desk not to poke my head out of the VIP room I was in to see what the hell was going on. Travel agencies might cost a bit more than buying your tickets online, but the entertainment value seems to be worth it.
The more I live here, the more amazed I am when people are professional. I’ve had a couple of epic travel-agent fuckups in which they decided the best course of action was to: 1) lie; and 2) tell me it’s “my fault”… right up to and through the firm establishment of the facts that it was THEIR FRICKIN’ MISTAKE.
