Airport nightmare

Date: 7/28/2022

I was at the airport qoth a friend and my boyfriend flying home. Ro get my pass and to be able to fly home, they had this machine. It looked like a copier. You had to wither put a picture of you from your phone (like a selfie) or an actual picture for it to scan. If you didn't have a picture, you could just put your face over it and use that. I had all of the above. No matter what I tried, I could not get any of it to work. I kept trying and trying until it was like 5 minutes left and it was time to start boarding. I found a worker to ask for help. I was starting to freak out a bit. Someone was giving the passengers directions to get ready to board, so the worker wouldn't let me talk until he was done. When he was done, boarding started. So I was finally able to explain to the worker. She took me by the scanners and I thought she was going to help make it work. But instead, we were behind everyone boarding. Once they got to me, they put some stuff on a finger to test it. They said it tested positive and my finger turned blue. They said I had damage on my finger and it was sticky. I told them I had just eaten, and I had just gotten my nails done, so maybe there was still some polish or glue there. As for the damage, I told them I was a bartender, so my hands were always dry. They seemed to understand, but then they wouldn't let me board. So I asked what do I do now, thi king it was a simple solution. They said to get a lawyer. I pleaded amd said I need to get home, I can't be stuck here, I do t have money. They were just like oh, well. I Called my mom to tell her ehat was going on and started to cry again. I woke up as I was telling my mom I don't want to get a lawyer.
