Close but no cigar...

On our way home today they came over the loud speaker and announced that they needed around 6 people to be bumped. So we jumped up and ran to the ticket desk because we came hoping to get bumped for the free tickets. When we got their they were offering $500 vouchers per person! So we turned in our tickets and stood to the side while our plane boarded. Anyways enough people didn't show up for the flight so they could put us on. The time we wanted to be bumped we couldn't. On the way their our flight was delayed 3hrs so we missed our connecting flight and not only did we not get vouchers they were charging for snacks! Unreal!
