Tale of the crisps packet

[Montrealbound]

Ijust boarded flight BA 95, London-Montreal. I boarded at just before 6pm, give or take a few minutes. As I sat down I requested the crew member handing out the drinks for a packet of Crisps, to which he replied “ we have them but you can only get them after takeoff”. When I requested him again as I was famished he repeated the same thing with a mildly aggressive look. I should say that I am traveling business class and the crisps were delivered an hour and half later and only when I asked another crew member, who was really nice about it and got me some crisps immediately.

Now I know we capitalists have our reckoning coming, but until then, shouldnt there be better service than this in business class?

I was neutral and did not show my annoyance in any way and thanked the lady who brought me the crisps profusely.

His attitude seemed quite Dickensian, definitely patronizing.

Thats what Im wondering, is it code for something, is the OP from MI5?

Log it with 101.
Actually fuck it, go straight to 999, bastard flight attendant causing psychological distress

'Dickensian' 😂😂😂

<trawling Dickens back catalogue for mention of business class>

I'm sure Mr Micawber had something to say about the perils of Business Class tastes with Premium Economy income

The current location of the plane suggests this is a hungry shaggy dog story

I think we need to start a GoFundMe. Spent all her money on biz class and now can’t afford to eat. Poor lamb.

Business class you usually get access to a lounge with free food and drink.

Your mistake was flying with BA!

Some brilliant comments 😂

@HebeMumsnet

i hope you gave the poor thing crisps when you showed her the door!

now I want crisps and don't have any in the house. Grrrr

You should have made a grand and dramatic exit from the plane, how very dare they!

Well, that's probably what the rest of the passengers and crew were hoping for.

I'm sorry you had to go through that

Is it a coded message?
Some words stand out e.g.capitalists.
Even the message from MN is strange'shown the door' but threads still up???

OP has gone and thread is likely to go poof but...
On the ground an airline has a defined selection of drinks and snacks that are permitted to be served because they have to pay the local tax on them.
After takeoff it's fine to serve anything as tax isn't payable after that.
Hence why there's frequent mumblings about airlines not serving drinks while delayed on the runway.

So it's possibly/probably that and a 'by the book' purser on the flight.

I can get pretty irrational if my crisps cravings aren't met quickly

I bet the others in this mythical business class cabin were profoundly grateful that they didn't have to go through take-off with OP loudly snarfing crisps in their vicinity.

Mr Bumble, being relieved of his duties in the poor house after a disagreement over the gruel portions, was pleased to be able to continue his illustrious career with BA on Flight BA95. It was going well until Oliver Twist's cousin pitched up wanting MORE crisps. He was slapped back down in the usual manner.
