I was walking through an airport today for my Southwest flight to Phoenix, Arizona when I heard another real life slice of life commercial. 
Something like my previous Toyota story.
As I passed the US Airways ticketing counter I overheard a conversation between an agent and a customer. The agent said “that will cost an extra $25” to which the customer replied “$25 dollars?!” The customer then went on with some continued complaining of which I ignored in my pursuit for TSA and my awaiting flight.
As I do so often, I began playing out the commercial in my head:
Stage: US Airways ticketing counter decked out in Christmas spirit.
Scene 1:
Single male customer approaches ticketing counter.
Customer places bulky, overweight bag on scale.
Agent confirms, “You’re checking one bag Mister Smith? That is going to cost an extra $25.”
The customer surprised and angry at the astounding information exclaims “$25?! Southwest doesn’t charge for checked bags!”
Cut to logo and friendly tagline. Bags fly free with Southwest!
