I work in a tax free shop at a British airport......
when a passenger wants to buy something, I have to put their flight number through the till (something to do with tax stuff). Most passengers don't carry their boarding cards (with flight numbers on).
Conversation goes like this :

Me: "Can I see your boarding card please?"
Passenger: "I don't have it with me."

Then they stand and look vacant, expecting me to do something about it.

Passenger: "Do I need it, I left it with my wife?"
Me: "I wouldn't have asked for it otherwise, Sir!"

Then I watch as they rush off trying and find their families that are lost in the chaos that is the departure lounge, cackling to myself as I flick through the flight scedule. Most of the time, they don't even come back.

No apoligies for width and height.
