It literally takes the gate 2-3 minuets to check CASS and get you on. If it is ten minuets prior to departure and they are still dealing with revenue passengers for that flight, then that flight is not going out on time anyways. It comes down to pure laziness and power. .
Exactly, do your fricken job. I never understood these guys that bake cookies or spend hard earned money to get a coffee for these lazy disgruntled people. I think it's a culture problem with the gate agents where they don't respect anything not least of which are flight crew.
