About the drink issue - give me a break. You are in a customer service industry. Your job is to service the client. You are thousands of feet up in the air - with people who are vacationing, snoozing, or going to work - and you are upset that they are relaxing? And that you have to repeat the order request. They ARE not working for you - it's no wonder the airlines are suffering! Next time - place the empty cup on their tray and ask ' DRINK?' - that's just one word you have to worry about......get over it

First off, you posted this in the wrong area. See if you scroll up you will see the topic soaring ticket prices not how to serve drinks to idiots.

Second, you have obviously never worked in the service industry before. Because it seems like your head is wedged tightly up your butt. I'm sorry but flight attendants, wait staff, or any person who works in that kind of field deserves a little respect. They stand on their feet for hours, get yelled at, ignored, laughed at, and treated horribly by most people, and most of them make very little pay. And people like you think its your right to treat them this way because "it's their job". I'm sorry but their is to serve you, not wait on you hand and foot, and accept your attitudes, or ignorance. Maybe you should try working in a service field before you make suggestions on how anyone should or should not do their job.

Nadine, take your own advice. Get over it.

The woman had an opinion. She voiced it. You don't agree. We get it. End of story.

I agree...a flight attendant is a service industry job. No different than waitressing, working as a sales clerk, etc. Part of that job is having to deal with rude "customers". If you can't take the heat, get out of the frying pan....
