Here's an old one:

THE IRATE CUSTOMER
For all of you out there who've had to deal with
an irate customer, this one is for you. It's a classic!
In tribute to those 'special' customers we all love!

An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in
Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point,
when confronted with a 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 a 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 hysterically,
the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore, F*** you!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir,
but you'll have to stand in line for that, too."
