Work as a grade 2 only one day and you will understand why you don't get offered much of special treatment. It's not because we don't want to, it's because we pretty much don't find the time until after the first service. And if it's a LHR, CDG, FCO, KUL or whatnot by the time we put the last cart back to the galley we heat the oven for the next service = 30 mins time to eat something ourselves
Lol Seja... last Euro flight I did it was literally finish parking the carts from Service #1 and out with carts for #2... even the passengers asked if we were serious.... 
I have noticed recently there seems to be a 'flight deck allergy' from some of the GR2's flat out refusing to go to the cockpit... which of course makes it more fun to shove a tray in their hands and make them go
Common complaint is "I don't know what to talk about". I tell them, planes, boats or gadgets, you'll be right!!! 
At the end of the day every fleet has its pros and cons, if someone is happy with their lots then why the endless bashing/telling people they're delusional....? One does not have to be crazy to enjoy their lot in life. Believe it or not, some guys are happy on A330, just as some may hate 777 or A380... how about you all just live and let live...

Interest RE the 777 flight deck seats, had more than one colleague on the 767/757 develop problems as well, and a bit of research determined it was poor seat vertical positioning which resulted in the pilot developing a poor posture while peering over/through the control yoke...although the PFD/ND were in a vertical, rather than a horizontal arrangement ala 777, it might be a factor in that airplane...I must admit, I find the 'bus flight deck arrangement more comfortable, (except for the crap lighting and ventilation) too bad the rest of the airplane is lacking...
