Group 6

The flight is full, so there’s no room
For everybody’s bags.
We need 3 dozen volunteers -
Come up; we’ve got the tags.

The first-class passengers are set,
As well as Comfort Plus,
But those in Groups 6,7,8 - 
You’re screwed - and that means us!

We didn’t buy the cheapest seats,
Yet still, we’re in a fix
Because our boarding pass revealed
That we are in Group 6.

We now need 20 people
To check baggage and what’s more,
By doing so, we’ll move you up
And you will join Group 4!

We waited with our bags until
A few of us remained
And yes, we stowed our bags up top, 
Despite what they’d maintained.

And by the way, 2 empty seats 
Are there across the aisle,
A challenge to the agents
Who might still be in denial.

Customer service at its finest, per the norm these days. These clowns are so bad they would deny that De Nile is a river. Idiots everywhere, gw
