LAX UC had cheese yesterday. Also an extraordinary number of pass users admitted and others denied because they were "flying first class".

Handfuls of cheese were going into bags. Definitely noticed higher percentage of "only-trip-of-the-year" flyers including one DYKWIA rube in F LAX-OGG demanding to see a "manager because the earphones weren't in seat pocket when we boarded" after FA handed him the same when he requested them. We were still at the gate. He eventually calmed down.

I find the new packets actually easier to open than the old ones, BTW.

Barring an unexpected business trip to Houston, I'm done for the year

I am sorry to hear that someone has cut the cheese. That really stinks.

MCrosky : No, that's right, that's what I said . . . tell them all to acknowledge and stand by. Get me every piece of emergency equipment you can reach. Alert rescue units every mile of the way, from here to the Rockies.

Towergy : Chief . . .

MCrosky : We'll need a pre-landing flight check, tell 'em I want it in the dispatch office and tell 'em I want it here fast.

Towergy : It's your wife.

MCrosky : ( To wife on phone ) I want the kids in bed by nine, the dog fed, the yard watered and the gate locked. And get a note to the milkman - NO MORE CHEESE! (click)

Ask a UC employee instead of posting trolling hyperbole on FT.

Adding to the sample size of 1, there was no cheese the last time I was at the SFO rotunda UC (~1.5 weeks ago). They may be getting less proactive at serving it (contributing to the $2bn in savings?).

This is all part of the passenger weight reduction initiative.

I think they just stink at managing inventory - I've often been in clubs where they're down to one variety of cheese.

And yes, the cheese is thinner, I'm not sure I'm mad about it, and I'm not taking more slices to make up for it.

I only took the chase Club Card in August, and I'm already soooo sick and tired of the same cheap snacks in all the clubs. If I see another bag of baby carrots I'm goign to die.

I can't believe they don't rotate, or have at least DIFFERENT cheese, and veggies in say, EWR AND IAH, and ORD - something different.

It's just awful quality, and consistent awful quality.

I don't know how you can even find a bakery to make a bagel as bad as what they serve in the club. Where??? I've never encountered one.
