We were travelling with ryanair. I saw the baggage checker and gave my partner, who was carrying our 6 month old baby, a 'you sure the bag fits' look. We were maybe four back in the queue but the checker saw and practically began salivating. Holding his little card machine he gleefully asked us to put our obviously undersized bag in the hole. The greedy little fascist was clearly disappointed he missed out on his £1 bonus.
A yes, a fascist - someone who is working class like me and being forced under pain of lost wages to bend to the whims of the CEO who enacted the money-grubbing policy.
whilst I hear you on the rich vs poor front, there's a difference between following orders and getting erect at the prospect of carrying them out
We're flying ryanair and worried about a bag fine, you think I'm the king of England...
Sorry i should say a greedy little piggy, class traitor. Actively excited to take £70 off someone so he can have one pound of it.
