Back at Stansted this evening...
I keep on forgetting what a horrible airport this is.
Rude security staff who left a woman in tears, who also barked orders at me and the rest of the cattle in security, while the joke that is fast track security asked me "What am I supposed to do with that?" When I showed her my pass. I mean, customer service is a thing that many other airports get right.
But then mugs like me forget and see the cheap flight and think "Maybe last time was the exception."
