And yes, there are some sour grapes here that I don't have the cajones to pull out my card and beg for a free drink. If I need one that bad, I can spare $6.
I totally agree with this. So, people are just hoping the FA's will bend/break the rules and give a drink away that they (the FA's) should be charging for.
