The Band

"The Band" arrived on time, unfortunately their luggage and equipment did not. They started to freak out a bit, they had a concert the next day, and they had to rehearse.

We found out their bags were in the connecting city and would be arriving in a few hours, we assured them we would put a rush on the delivery and get the bag to them ASAP.
We did as promised and the bags and equipment arrived safely within 4 hours of their arrival.

Steve was on vacation the next day and went to the concert, which was held in a local amusement park. Before they even started playing they announced " ______ Airlines lost their luggage." Steve got upset and left, thinking..."this has been band, doesn't even appreciate how we went out of our way to get their bags to them."
Of course he told his co-workers about the "announcement" at the concert.

"The Band" was checking in for the return flight. They had a lot of equipment and bags.

Yvonne checked them in "Ok sir you have two excess bags, and three of your bags are overweight, that comes to $235."

"The Band just looks at her shocked, "But they didn't charge us on the way out." you know they were thinking... "but WE ARE THE BAND!"

Yvonne: "Cash or charge sir?"

The Band: "Charge." mumbling under breath and to each other.... "this is unbelievable" "I can't believe this" "didn't charge us on the way here."

Yvonne: "Thank you sir, here is your receipt." "Oh and by the way, we heard about your announcement at the concert."

The Band: ( mouths falling open) "How did you hear about that?"

Yvonne: "Its a small town." "Have a nice flight."
