I went into
SeaTac airport, taking my
girlfriend to a plane that departed for the
holidays. I was at the
United counter when i
noticed that the attendant who was checking her in had a PoS
sticker on his
badge.
"Wow,
PoS, eh? I hope that isn't some sort of
title." I remarked. "That's rather
demeaning".
He looked around on his
counter, and then on his
uniform, and finally
understood to what i was referring.
The reply from the young fellow was: "No
sir, that stands for
Port of Seattle," followed by a brief chuckle.
It definately cut then
tension of the
moment (they were in the
middle of an
airline strike at the time), and I hope the brief introduction of a bit of
humor made his day
better.
