This happened to me over the weekend at Boston Logan at the Av** car rental counter.

I booked the rental car reservation nearly a month before travel. I booked my reservation in my name, with my driver’s license information, and my credit card. Upon arrival at the car rental counter, I greeted the clerk, we exchanged pleasantries, and then I gave her my drivers license, credit card, and confirmation number for the rental. It was at this time that the clerk tried to return my driver’s license and asked for my husband's drivers license as the primary driver (he is not the primary driver and the reason for that is irrelevant.) I explained to her that she had my driver’s license already and she again insisted that my husband would be the primary driver and that she needed his license. My husband and I both told her once again that I was the primary driver, the reservation and credit card are all in my name. Her attitude shifted at this point to being curt and short tempered. At one point she admonished me for taking my credit card out of the card machine when prompted to by the machine itself. The entire experience was stressful, insulting, and I am not sure why I am still shocked by it.
