If an FA takes food intended for FC passengers for personal use, it's no different than a "Shena" GA upgrading a friend over a customer, or any other situation where a limited resource is not allocated according to the rules. Most employees obviously aren't doing this, but the handful who are do a disservice to their peers, their company, and their customers, and should be reported/retrained/released.

Think before you speak
I am highly upset by some of the comments posted on here. Please be minded of the plain and simple fact that the flight attendant you are speaking of could very well be your friend or mother or family member. It irritates me to the point that I have to comment about this. My very close friend works as a f/a and she told me that they have crew meals for some flights. They are provided with their very own crew meals ( some containing cookies) Shame on you for judging or thinking that that poor soul is "stealing" Do you even know what these employees have to go through in order to get their jobs. God forbid something were to go wrong you would depend on that fat ... flight attendant cookie monster. Mind you damn business , its that simple. Ask if you aren't sure instead of coming on some forum to vent. Get over yourself...

I apologize but I had to "bump" this thread as I thought the following story was fitting for this topic.
On Sunday I'm flying ATL-PWM, the final leg on the way home, living the dream in a luxurious EC aisle seat when I notice the FA, after passing the snack basket around to the FC passengers for the third time, walking to the back of the plane with about 3 kit kats in her hand. GASP!!! ZOMG the world is ending I thought, won't this be a great story to tell on FT. I turn around to watch exactly where she is going and wouldn't you know, she's handing out the candy to children seated in coach. How about that!! I thought it was a very nice thing for her to do. What say you FT?

P.S. If I sneak extra snack basket treats into my carry on luggage shouldn't the FA's have the same privilege without condemnation? I've got about a weeks worth of Biscoffs in the pantry. Winter is coming!

hah, I was seated next to an NRSA on this flight and she was on her best behavior and just happy to have a middle seat to get home. I think I might have scared her with my enthusiasm for Delta & the FF program lol but now I have a GA friend at my home airport. The dream!
