Woman Unable To See Dying Mother Because Ticket Agent Needs to Go On Break

A man who rushed his girlfriend to the airport to catch a flight to see her dying mother, watched her miss the flight because a United Airline's ticketing agent refused to help because "it was time for her to go on her break." His girlfriend finally reached the gate in time to watch her flight depart, and the gate agent defended his colleague's lack of sympathy, saying "management really makes us work some unreasonable schedules." To be fair, breaks are serious business.

why wait till she was dying

If the lady's mother was so damned important to her, why did she wait until her mother was so nearly dead to go visit her?

Fact is,. It's not the ticket agent's fault that the lady could not manage her own damned life. Take a break.
