单选题 This is a story about how someone in a very difficult situation keeps her positive attitude. An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for Being smart. She made her point when confronted with passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded United flight was canceled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. 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 FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks 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 gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone." May I have your attention, please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal, "We have passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to the gate. "
With the folks behind him in line laughing uncontrollably, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore, "Damn it all!"
She grinned and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that, too./
