I agree; I'll never forget my second-to-the-last flight as a FA....FRA-SFO. The Purser talked for a good 20 minutes telling people, unscripted, how to open the lav doors ("push where it says 'push") and talking about many of the "fabulous items on offer in duty free." That was then followed by the Aft-Purser making an announcement in United Economy describing, in detail, each meal down to the "salt and pepper, should you find yourself needing additional flavor for your gourmet entree." We were 2/3 of the way thru the beverage service in Economy before the announcements were done with many pax eyes asking the question "why?"
