You're missing my point Eagle,
no, I think you have!!
Since when does showing up at the gate with a beverage crafted by a barista imply that I might be unprofessional or don't mean business.
Nor does it mean I have deliberately delayed the flight cos we are in CC.
All it means is I was thirsty since, its probably a weird start time, the room service was not available or the fact that I wasn't afforded descent accommodation for my 4-5 hour stop in the terminal.
We all are 'the business', we all mean business, thats why we tend to expect our 'leaders' to act the same, they don't.
Its got F@x all to do with the coffee!
