that's just it, EVERYONE is carrying their bags, no one wants to check them thus the scam of "your ticket does not allow a carry on"
she also said all the bins were empty because everyone had to check their bag

Yelling more and louder is exactly how you should be dealing with this.

Next time, don't buy that $200 plane ticket. but the $250 one, and get a carry on bag for free. Or, better yet, buy the cheapo $200 flight and check the bag at the counter like an adult for $30.
Oh...Alegient charges for that carry on...

Delta doesn't, but they will force you to gate check if you're in the cheapest tier.
But...United didn't hide this from you at all.
When you buy the United basic economy ticket, they make you VERIFY that you know you're buying the cheapo seat, and won't get a carry on, nor get to pick a seat beforehand. So, someone just went all willy-nilly on the United website when buying a ticket, and didn't read anything they were asked to read.
