Busy airports treat folks like packages. All about volume. As for the staff: Crushing boredom of the job. Physical Inactivity. Lack of mental exercise. Routine or rote type of work, etc. Kinda hard to put a positive spin on the day.

If you type Miami Airport and rude in Google countless things come up. What's up with this?
It's not that hard to find out. Most employees are Cubans and culturally they are widely know for being boorish people. Oh, and most hecklers about this statement are Cubans btw.

I recently flew through Miami Intl Airport (MIA) and thought of this thread. Some employees (or even most) were polite, a few less so.

The only one negative experience was trying to ask two airline employees at my arriving gate for my connecting flight (which was an international flight). I was standing directly in front of them and they continued to have a personal conversation while I sat their for a few minutes.

Most employees spoke to me in English but as I was entering security to get to my international flight a female employee spoke to me in Spanish and said, "Buen viaje". I am clearly Anglo, although I do speak pretty good Spanish. But the reality is I was flying to Brazil. So, "Boa Viagem" would have been much more appropriate.
