I guess the dragon lady FA was having a bad day.

I had the opposite experience last year with a NW FA. The FA started asking pax if they wanted a drink. The commuting FA was in the first row and mentioned that the FA really didn't need to do that on such a short flight (I forget what the city pair was, but it was on a CRJ-900). The FA stopped asking. Prety sad.
