A meal cart landing on your 12 year old will do a lot more harm than missing out on child's pak.
If,as yo say,you have been in the industry for 35 years you must be aware of this.

If you have a problem with this contact Dixon.
Let me reassure you he is more interested in his bonus than your meal service.
Crew do the best with what is available.
It is now mandatory to be able to apologize in 15 languages.
