Because I have that. I am that. GD, Steve. I'm not sure what I love more: the fact that you mention and semi-quote Dave Barry; the fact that we agree about Powell's; or the fact that you effectively used the word "Blech." Bravo, friend. The airlines are like insurance agencies. I'm not sure how that makes sense, but go see "Sicko." What’s it called when somebody relishes in somebody else’s misery? Because I have that. I am that.

I've seen this with hotels too. Personally I don't like 3rd party bookings like priceline because I'm not dealing direct with the service providor, and I've noticed that MANY take on the 'we didn't book this for you so you're not a "real" customer' type attitude when there's a problem. Sad? yes, but seems to be the norm. Buyer beware and shame on the companies who are doing business like this. Such a sad tale, and yet it does not surprise me at all. I’ve seen this with hotels too.
