OMAAT readers share a lot of stories with me, and some of them are pretty wild. Well, Michael just shared an experience with me that might just be the most unusual one that I’ve ever heard. I can’t imagine it’s made up, but it’s also so shocking that I struggle to wrap my head around this.
Last night I called AA (I’m an Executive Platinum) and was connected to someone named Kevin at the EP Desk in Dallas. I was calling because I needed to apply multiple trip credits to a trip for me, my wife, and my daughter. After I shared who I was booking for, he asked if I was planning on having any additional children. That by itself is an obviously inappropriate question for an agent to be asking me, but after I said, “no, we were done having children,” he told me that I needed to listen to God and have more children, and he quoted scripture to me about being fruitful and multiplying!
How dare he! He has no earthly idea what my personal circumstances are with regard to child bearing or religion. I stayed calm in the moment and simply stated that what he had said was extremely inappropriate, and moved on to complete the booking, but I am absolutely appalled.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
