Keeping the air fair - part 2

 
Sometimes I wonder how certain people manage slip through recruitment filters undetected.

A six-year-old girl was recently banned from taking her teddy bear (wrapped in the plastic bag to keep it dry from the rain) aboard an easyJet flight in the UK after a check-in clerk deemed it "excess baggage". Tearful Alba Apreciado-Peris was told by the clerk that Bebe the bear was too big to join her in the cabin on a flight from Glasgow to Stansted. The female clerk then told Alba's stunned mother she would have to pay £9 (€12/AU$20) to put the teddy in the hold. She ended up posting the bear home.

Are you fcuking KIDDING me? I can appreciate that the employee was following company policy but it's a six-year-old child and surely common sense should have prevailed here. This is a perfect example of what's wrong in the world and I'm stopping before I get started. Jeez...
