Today, I almost got upgraded to business class because the gentleman at the check-in was so mortified at having called me "sir" instead of "mam." However, before it could go through, his colleague stopped him, telling me that it was "an easy mistake to make." FML

Today, I had an interview for a pretty interesting job. Everything was going smoothly until I referred to their company by the wrong name, not once, but three times. They politely corrected me each time, but I could see the resentment in their eyes, especially because it was the name of their main competitor. I probably won't be getting the job, huh? FML

I don't think you should get free stuff since the employee made a mistake and sincerely apologized for it, but his colleague was a ********.

That was a dick move on his part. It's a easy mistake, but since he said he would upgrade you he should of did it

Exactly... if the upgrade was already offered, it's kind of mean to undo it. It's worse customer service than not offering at all in the first place.

Just because the colleague was such a douche as well, you should have made a scene. Yes the first gentleman may have made a mistake, but the colleague's comment is what would have gotten to me more. I'm sorry but you don't speak to Customers that way... Oh and it was already made available to you that you'd be upgraded.
