What I find unusual, however, is that while sitting in the terminal, where food selection is sometimes better than what is offered on the plane, the average customer would rather starve or die of thirst until they board the aircraft.
I realize what is offered on board is free, but lets be for real.
First of all, what happened to eating a healthy meal before you travel?
Snacks just don't cut it and meals are not provided on domestic flights.
I think it has something to do with cutting cost.
Anyway, on a particular day in October, I had the pleasure of what I considered a "beggar" in my section. I real don't like to stereo-type, but I had no choice.
A lady claimed to be starving and wondered if I could provide her with some of our delicious cookies we serve. Her request, however, was declined and I offered to provide them only during the inflight service.
You might be saying, "How rude," but think about the dominoes affect that could follow; others would ask for the same treatment. I just decided to keep it all on the same page.
This sort of thing, however, happens all the time.
Well, at the start of serving snacks, the anticipation of serving this lady churned in my stomach. I had this gut feeling that she was going to throw a curve ball. She requested three packs of those cookies she asked for earlier.
Not a problem, but I still had others to serve and suggested she take one now. The cookies are in limited supply: so, until everyone has made their choice, she could have more.
Oh, I did offer her some of the other snacks that were available.......and she took them.
Here's the curve ball.......she started to hand me a purple shopping bag and asked if I would fill it up with the remaining snacks that were left over.
Can you imagine that.....what has this world turned into?
