I'm sure in the time I worked for my wonderful employer, I did not EVERYTIME tell a passenger to stay in the gate area in case he/she decided to take a walk. I would also like to say that a passenger missing a delayed flight that he/she has already checked in for is extremely rare. I can't remember even 1 time where it happened on a flight when I was working it. But yes, AMP, I did advise pax to remain in the area, especially on weather delays unless they needed a restroom break. Did they listen?? I guess so cuz as I said, nobody missed a delayed flight I worked. I must have done at least one thing right.
The voucher issue you keep talking about. Computer generated vouchers, at least the airline I worked for, were valid for 24 hours from issue date at any airport or flight taken. They were not airport specific nor airport area specific. What if a pax wants a pizza and Pizza Hut is on the other side of the airport? Are they gonna demand we move gates or bring Pizza Hut closer? What if they don't like the vendors that are in the area?? Then as far as the agent collecting the vouchers after a flight? Are you serious?? This has to be a wind-up.
Again, stick to law, AMP. I hope you're better at that than the potential you show as an airline employee.
