Service With a Gum Smack

The differences in service at airport gates between Toronto and San Juan are hilarious.

Toronto: Neat uniforms, very proper appearance. Example of dialogue -- "Thank you for flying United Express. We will now start boarding passengers from rows 20 to 30. Thank you for your cooperation." (said in calm voice on loudspeaker)

San Juan: Jeans, orange traffic controller vest, extremely long nail tips. Dialogue -- (leans on podium, yells) -- "AH-KAY. Listen up. 'We're gonna start boarding the plane, so line up here." (patois, chewing gum)

I can't even write it to do justice. Just doesn't work.
