Airlines deal with the abuse because they have to deal with it to make money. Feel free to get tough on the passengers, watch them go to another airline and then see who pays the bills.

Why the fuck have 25 checkouts when only 5 are ever open at once? And I wish I had the manager's phone number so I could call and suggest they put more staff on and open more checkouts. They should have the manager's photo and phone number on a big sign right near the checkouts. Andrew – I think similarly when I’m queueing at the supermarket.

The staff should have cards with the manager's office location to hand out. He or she can have a card to refer them on to the head honchos.
