We waited in line for about 10 min, which was ok, and then I approached the counter. At that moment my wife went to a restroom. I gave our information to Meghan and she found us in the system.

I stepped out to let the next person go and at that moment my wife came back. We were not offered any help at that point since others were waiting.
