Thank goodness I haven't seen a special meal in years. But that's because I fly domestic routes. Will never forget the time, years ago, I counted, sorted, and then had to find all 85 peope who had ordered Kosher meals on the airplane!

Personally, when I had to deal with special meals, I didn't care who ordered what. But it seemed like more times than not it was like the FA in your post said...people would order a Kosher and then say they didn't want it. Actually they'd throw a fit and say their travel agent must have ordered it and follow that with, "And I'm not eating it!" My guess is the FA your sister met needed a Kosher (for a passenger who wanted one and perhaps forgot to order one) and hoped (prayed) your sister wouldn't want hers. To keep the peace.

Just my two cents.
