I wouldn't be surprised about throwing like the VA clip showed - the staff have time pressures too and there may not be enough time to walk each bag to the end of the trolley to put them gently down.
You are assuming they picked them up? I would suggest that those bags stayed right where they fell until some time later in the day, when someone was assigned to go and tidy them up. Meanwhile, front counter staff are filling out lost baggage forms.
Well maybe not professionals but someone that is grateful to have a job and respect other people's property would be a start?
Which is why travelling in Japan is a respectful joy…
I don't know how to react to Adam Briggs' comment
Well those staff that did this aren't the redundant ones.
I am reminded recently at SEA I was surprised to find someone at the bag claim for my flight both repositioning bags (and also scanning them - one presumes as proof of delivery to the belt) but the effort was definitely appreciated in terms of properly aligning (most of) the bags. It all got a b it much for him at one point with the flow of bags but it was still an effort made (of course it also made scanning easier in most cases)
They are now.
Not a redundancy though
Huh? It fits their narrative entirely - they would state that the well-paid, decent Qantas baggage handlers never did anything like this, and only outsourced baggage handlers who are paid minimum wage would hate their jobs.
Yes that could be argued but only if you believe that QF workers are/were different. Plenty of comments above that state otherwise. The fact that these aren't QF workers is irrelevant but as this appears to be an ongoing and widespread problem, it does characterise the workers and the job somewhat. The high court case will rely on QF proving that there were other reasons, such as this kind of thing not just commercial ones, for the outsourcing.
