I have noticed that pax are becoming a lot more greedy, maybe following the obesity trends for Westernised countries.
For example, because drinks are free passengers ordering coffee (extra sugar), 2 cups of water, tomato juice, diet! coke and a can of beer. I do not begrudge anyone a cup of tea and a coke or whatever but sometimes it gets a bit much.
On all flights, depending on length, time of day etc, coach pax get free food. Maybe just a cookie or pretzels or a sandwich, roll or on the longer shorthaul flights a hot meal with a small salad and pudding. Even on some of our domestics we do a hot breakfast panini or a hot breakfast or a small salad tray.
What amazes me is the number of pax wanting like, 3 sarnies. Or today, a passenger saying that his breakfast ham roll wasn't good enough and he wanted a crossaint or pain au chocolat. It was great fun when he came to the galley and found us munching on the above from the business class galley!
Crew get trays with hot food, business class standards and on longer flights, cheese, crackers, fruit, biscuits and chocolate. It amazes me the number of pax who stare as I walk through to the back galley with the crew food or even try and help themselves only to be told off. Comments range from 'huh? How come YOU guys get to eat?' (Yep we are the hired help robots) to 'I WANT THAT.!' Funny how it's always "I WANT" not "Please may I have?" I want doesn't I get is my new motto!
On the subject of food, had a passenger demanding vegan food on a flight of 1 hr 40 mins!
Stupid Pax Is that cheese roll vegan?
Me: Nope it's dairy.
SP: Well I'm a vegan.
Me *thinking so what?
SP: Well I need VEGAN sandwich.
Me: We don't do special meals in coach on these short flights. If you take a longhaul flight you will need to order in advance.
SP. Do you have any crackers or fruit?
Me Er...no.
Anyway she came back to the galley later and saw some pretzels.
SP: Can I have those?
Me: Er...they contain dairy? (show her the packet)
SP: Can I have them anyway?
Seriously, what kind of delusion was she under? Why not pre-pack your own food if you're on a special diet? And then she ate dairy anyway so?
