I agree completely with Jim. The older and frumpier they are, the bolder and grumpier they are. However, I have definitely seen the young, attractive - 'youre not worth my time' attendants as well. That is why I didnt make it an age thing; I think that a lot of the behavior is rooted in policy and/or how friendly they are or are not required to be to customers. Same applies to gate agents and ticket agents.
