FlyingStone, fortunately in our Cabin Crew procedures it specifically stated that the pilots might reject a take-off for minor issues or on instruction by ATC. If this was the case then it was up to the Captain to either alert the Cabin Crew or wait for a more suitable time. The Cabin Crew would still mentally go through their drills but would wait for an instruction from the flight deck.

Based on that I complied with all Cabin Crew SOPs and didn’t leave them wondering what was going on for any longer then required.
