Yesterday, I ended up making a woman coffee 5 TIMES. She wanted de-caff. But every time she wanted a fresh one made after slurping her coffee down very quickly.
The coffee was either too hot, too cold, too lukewarm, too strong, too weak, too milky, not milky enough. All this over those tiny coffee cups we serve coffee in, on a 90 minute flight and she wasn't even in business class and had paid around £50 for her ticket.
She had a frequent flyer card though, quite high status ,which of course makes her a semi goddess
She complained that she had ordered a low-cal meal, on these short routes we do not do special meals in economy, being a frequent flyer she should know that. She then said other crew ALWAYS manage to bring her a salad from business class.
She was very precious indeed and had two children with her, clambering over the seats as I was standing there with her coffee on a tray trying to give it to her.
