I am a golfer and would be upset if those were my clubs. But then there is no supervision on these workers. They just do what they want.

[@davidsmiths5471]

Why wouldn't you buy a hard cover case if your golf clubs are so precious!

[@r8chlletters]

Why wouldn’t you use a hard case and…why the heck didn’t these workers place the cart next to the other one and save themselves a lot of work??

[@davidsmiths5471]

It looks like the plane was loaded poorly actually

I see this all the time. I travel frequently. Last month I flew back to SD from Chicago and watched as these handlers literally banged each suitcase on that rolling lift before setting them down, I kept thinking to myself how harder they make themselves work. Must be exhausting to make sure each suitcase arrives to destination with at least one item broken. Makes me wonder if they like their job a bit. I always make sure to not pack fragile items.

Yea but you’re not a very important golf player with apparently delicate equipment! This is a travesty! 🤪🤪

[@davidsmiths5471]

What's a roller lift?

[@wbduckman]

This should be a case for termination. Or at a minimum, a suspension.
