I get to the front of the line and the gate agent has me check my suitcase (to be recovered in baggage claim). I mentioned that the flight was half empty, but relented without a struggle. Everyone had a row to themselves and there were tons of empty overhead bins.
It was a minor annoyance, and seemed out of place, in kind of a no cognac and breadsticks way.
He wasn't a tool per se, it just seemed oddly small picture.

Yes, I do understand that. And thus I never once complained or said anything about it. However, one could at least be polite about it
