I'd have to ask her, but I think it was that she was unprofessional and rude.

It was her first complaint in a year or two, since taking the job, and AA were apparently real a-holes about it.


If you knew my sister back then and now, she's very professional and follows the rules. They must have really pushed her buttons. Now, she doesn't take shit from anybody--of course she's in her 60s now and had worked in various fields as an audio engineer, sound technician and sold and installed high-end audio. She's come across a lot of entitled assholes who try to move on her. She shuts them down.
