Galley Gossip: A question about being a flight attendant on reserve {Gadling}
Feb 11th 2009 3:20AM Stop picking on Heather people. Everyone loves and hates thier job at some point. Customers expectations are awfully high sometimes (I believe customers should be treated respectfully and get what they pay for, but in return their expectations shoudl be reonible and they should treat the employee with respect, and as a person with feelings), customer service is not easy when you are trying to balance the customers needs, the tasks at hand and the company policies on different aspects of your job. Maybe if the customers took a minute to think about how they would feel if someone were talking to them as they are talking to the employee at this moment, they would realize how hard the job is.
Heather - thank you for the informational posts on your job, and keep up the great work on this blog and on the plane. Thanks for all you do!

Galley Gossip: Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #3: You want me to do what? {Gadling}
Jul 19th 2008 12:53AM I apperciate you pointing this out! I work in retail and it seems in the past ten years people have started to take for granted the services rendered. YOu know people working in the service industries are there to help you not do it for you. I get tired of hearing you choose this job. Yes I did, beacuse I wanted to help people not be their personal shopper or the person they take their anger out on.
I use to love my job, but now my job includes daily abuse by the customers. I don't mind helping you but show me sopme respect. I don't come or to your job and berate you for things out of your control.

Holiday Travel Hell Part 3: If you book with Payless Car Rental, make sure your flight is on time {Gadling}
Jan 10th 2008 2:43AM I have not used Payless, but know I have had a similar experience with budget. They claim that if you give them your flight information they will hold your car until your flight arrives. We flew from Vegas to Chicago and were delayed five hours on a red eye nonr the less, only to arrive and find out they had given away our car. They only had two cars left and did end up honoring the rate on one of those two cars. But it is un neeeded stress added to a situation that just is not needed.
