As Ralph expressed her frustrations she took the time out to tell her followers how to handle these types of inconveniences.

“I was just saying that in these days and times, be kinder, just be nicer because you just never know,” she added.

Ralph eventually found a solution and took another flight on a rival airline.

“Anyway, I just bought my ticket on American Airlines, and we’ll be flying now,” she said. “Thank you, God bless you, and be well.”

And of course, social media had their own opinions on the matter, one of those followers was comedian Wanda Sykes, “I’ve said it before…Delta’s motto should be, “We will leave your [expletive]”

Others defended the airline in this matter stating, “As someone who works in the airline industry, there’s a reason you have to be on time for check-in, EVEN if it is just 4 minutes. There’s a lot more that goes on behind the scenes than just “checking in”. So please be kind enough to understand that.”
