Southwest is a lot like taking the bus. Quicker, but not much of a ride. Early on with Southwest out of Midway in Chicago, I watched the guy in front of me at the front counter have a bad experience. The agent was a short, thin black woman and mad as a hornet. She had her hair tightly wrapped in a head full of corn-rows. Looking to defuse any potential situations, I told her I liked her corn-rows. She went from peeved to BEAMING, and couldn't have been more pleased. Sometimes the customer has to manage the agent. Regards, Bob S.
