So, for all the experienced retail - and especially airline - folks here, I'll leave it up to you who was the sucky one here, as I relate a short tale my coworker told me this week.
She'd been on vacation to Spain; now, she's a rather frequent flyer for someone who's deathly afraid of flying, and who's easily air sick. Therefore, she always checks for the barf bag when boarding a plane.
On this trip, apparently, barf bags were low; neither her, nor her friends, nor the rest of the row had any, and she asked the flight attendant for a bag. FA promises to deliver, but doesn't.
Coworker asks again, several times. Friend of coworker's goes up front to ask for a barf bag when turbulence strikes and makes the need for such a bag more imminent. FA still doesn't deliver bag.
Then, when the air sickness hits, and there's no vessel available, coworker turns to the side (thankfully, away from her friends) and vomits into the aisle, on the carpet. Amazingly, that brings FA running with a barf bag - only, too little, too late.
Here's where I see some potential suckiness on my coworker's part, as she turns to the FA with the words, "Yeah, I'm not gonna be needing that anymore, but you can clean this here up instead."
