Here is episode a Singapore Airline Desk Attendant has had with a

rude customer. It is a good example to show how such a client could

be tackled. You will certainly find it interesting.



An episode at a Singapore Airline help desk in Sydney



An award should go to the Singapore Airlines desk attendant in

Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her

point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly

as cargo.



A crowded Singapore flight was cancelled after SQ'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withdrawn from service.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 FIRST CLASS".



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 Desk 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW

WHO HE IS.

If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Desk 14."



With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the

Singapore attendant, gritted his teeth and said,

"F*** You".



Without flinching, she smiled and said, (I love this bit)

"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too."
