Shaving kit, check. Three pair of underwear, check. Three tee-shirts, check. Three pair of socks, check. One pair of pants, check.
All the bare essentials one needs for a two day trip home in a single bag. Check.
Seven that morning, check-in counter, 90-minutes before boarding: “I’m afraid there will be a fifty-dollar charge for your carry-on.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“Sorry, sir, but that’s what it will cost for your carry-on bag.”
“No one told me it would cost anything extra for less than ten pounds of clothing and an effing shave kit!”
“Sorry, sir, but it’s company policy.”
Decisions.
