why pour when you've got what you need to hand over it takes 2 seconds! It takes less time to set up, no trolley top, just an ice bucket, it's what the company wants and the passengers seem really happy when you hand them over a sealed bottle of water rather than a poured glass.
If the company want to take people from the service why make work for yourself and the crew. Do it as they want you to. Make the passengers happy in other ways. I know when I travel it's not the standard of the food that impresses me it's the attitude and pleasantness of the crews that matters.
Isn't there just as much waste using the plastic cups to pour into compared to the OJ cartons.
I did the MAD yesterday with 15/110 and the whole service was done in about 40 min. No complaints from the passengers, the crew said the service was easy, and everyone was happy.
YD
You misunderstand me.. I don't expect it but why should it even be in print that we are supposed to do it. The vast majority wont expect it as its just really odd, but whats the point in publishing service guidelines which don't reflect the service offered as then its not going to be anything like a consistent service.
Which I guess brings me on to pouring, That was a choice by the crew on that particular flight, however I just do what i'm told to by the person at the front, so i'll be doing what i'm told as from monday and giving out those schoolboy boxes!
and you are totally right with the wastage thing too, I didn't think about all the plastic we are wasting with cups!
Sometimes the bigger picture eludes me
