How jetstar prefers their departure lounges

While travellers are standing craning their necks waiting for gate information. ..
Perhaps it's about keeping people near the restaurants for as long as possible... keep everyone eating.
Wait! An announcement!  My flight is delayed.
Sigh.
After this photo was posted, two Jetstar employees appeared walking towards Gate 48. One answered the walky talky and said "We're here, we're here, now". They weren't, they nearly were.
Then once they got to the gate, one tried to actully OPEN the gate so the arriving travellers can come in.

"I can't open the gate. How to get this door open?" one said. The other walked over and there was some scuffle and they managed to get the gate open.

Then heaps of people started coming out of Gate 48 from their Hobart flight at EXACTLY the moment ALL the passengers to Launceston arrived and tried to board. There were about 100 people jostling for space past each other for 20 minutes while the craft was cleaned. Totally chaos.

Then we boarded and the guy on the speaker said " Thank you flying Jetstart you are on... ummm... JQ.... um.... 7..... um..." I was sitting in row ONE so the guy next to me and I  said "FOUR ONE!"
and we just looked at each other. *face palm*

If they're going to hopelessly unorganized, could they at least keep it a secret from the passengers?
