I have an issue with part of number 7. Whereas I totally understand not interfering with the flight attendant's duties and the beverage or snack service, why should a parent sitting in first class "not dare" to bring and first class service items to their children in coach?
=====================================================

I agree with Christina. I've had Freq. flyers ask if I would "comp" a drink to an associate in coach. I've never had a problem with that, it's being nice. Service items sent back to coach for kids? The coach passengers will witness the tray of goodies coming from first and given to CHILDREN in coach will hopefully surmise their parents are "taking care of them". The dividing of classes on a aircraft has always been scruntinized. Champagne flowing in first. Peanuts in coach. Just the size of the seats cause some people to try to sneak up there for free. It's the dividing of classes when you fly. People are always interested in what they're NOT getting.
Years ago, when I served ice cream sundaes in first, when I had left-overs and the flight attendants didnt want them, I would visually go through coach and search out small children. Ask their parents, and plant an ice cream sundae into the tray of a smiling child. Most passengers smiled at my kindness.
