A LESSON FOR ALL EMPLOYEES WHO WORK WITH RUDE CUSTOMERS!!!
An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney
some months ago for being customer focused, while making her point, when
confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn
from service.
A single attendant was re-booking a Long line of inconvenienced travellers.
Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk.
He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, I HAVE to be on this
flight and it HAS to be NOW".
The attendant replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but
I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work
something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers
behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address
microphone:
"May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please," she
began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a
passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.
If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at
the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F... You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to
get in line for that too."
