Back in 05, I bought a PAL eticket for my Manila - Cebu trip, since it was cheaper. Here in the States, you just have to present your ID to the agent and he/she hands you a boarding pass. Well, my 4year old daughter and myself showed up at the PAL counter 20mins before the flight, thinking we would just zip through the check in. So, I gave my passport and confirmation receipt to the agent. Long and behold, the agent told me I had to go to the PAL ticketing office and sign a lousy receipt before he could check me in. At this point, I went ape s**t. So, my kid and I ran to the ticketing office where there were 5 people in front of us; I had 15mins to make it back to the check in counter before the flight leaves and on top of that, my daughter told me that she needed to go use the bathroom. I swear those PAL employees work at a snail pace, they just take their sweet time. By the time it was my turn, I couldn't help but chew the poor ladies ***** for making me sign a receipt given its an eticket.
