I'd hate the birthday greeting, because it would be completely insincere. The staff don't know you, they couldn't care less about your birthday and they're only saying it because their computer told them to. And yet the airline thinks I'm going to be impressed by the greeting?

- finolex1 8y agoI guess I would still be impressed, not by the sincerity of the greeting, but by the fact that the airline pays enough attention to the small details to actually train attendants to care about passengers birthdays among all the other things they have to do.
