A traveler named Amanda Gallant recently went viral on TikTok after an airport worker shamed her for having a bag that was just one pound over the weight limit. Her video, posted under the handle @amanda_gallant, has gathered over 80,000 views. In it, she shared her experience of being given a $100 ultimatum at the check-in counter.
According to Brobible, Gallant said she was fully aware of the standard 50-pound baggage limit when she checked in. Her bag weighed 51.01 pounds; just one pound over. When she asked the worker if they could overlook the small difference, the worker refused and gave her two options: pay $100 or remove something from the bag. When Gallant chose to take something out, the worker said, “Yeah, you shouldn’t have bought all that stuff.”
