Just flew a Republic flight PHL-GSO and the FA said due to the short duration of the flight (which she herself announced was 1:10) there would be no beverage service, but she would try to handle special requests if she had time! Amazing! She sat in her jumpseat eating fruit loops and playing with her cell phone while pax audibly complained about her laziness. She was gate-checking bags and forcing row 1 pax to go several rows back for their carryons while her's was in the row 1/2 bins. This is the kind of thing Republic management needs to know about, and US needs to know too because she was hired to represent the US brand. Laziness in any job should not be tolerated.
