They don't even come out that fast, they have plenty of time to walk three steps and not throw them

Where I live we call them baggage handlers and I expect them to handle things with a touch more care.

Except they aren't? I used to be one myself. The title is either ramp agent or baggage handler. I've never heard anyone call them throwers.
