Automatic Special Meal assignment?
I ordered the fruit meal last time I traveled HKG-PVG-HKG because my stomach was turning. But this time I didn't request any fruit meal but I was surprised that when I'm situated the FA says "Mr. ___ your fruit meal is prepared for you and what drink would you like with it?" I accepted it anyway since they already prepared it (but I got to say they really scale down on fruit meal this time, it was totally watermelons versus last time when it's dominating with honey dews.) Anyway, just wanted to comment that I guess their computer system not only memorize your seat selections but also special meals selections and predetermines that for you.
