Gatekeeping First Class
I bought a first class ticket to St. Louis from Hawaii two weeks ago. My grandmother had passed away and I had to travel quickly. It was the only option I had to meet my travel needs. When I board the plane, the man next to me stares me straight in the eye and asks “Are You Sure That’s the Right Seat?” You don’t seem to be able to afford this seat”.
Although I was not dressed in the best way, I showed him my tickets and told him to stop talking. I didn’t hear him say a single word the rest of my flight, except for “excuse you”.
