Yes -- but on some occasions gate staff don't make it obvious. I've often experienced the first boarding call (sometimes following pre-boarding) being for specified rows at the rear of the plane, followed by the next block going forward and ending up with the foremost Y seats -- in other words, no explicit call at all for C or status passengers.

I'll remember this helpful tip next time I get flagged down on the Autobahn.

I'm not convinced that this approach would do much to resolve any conflict situation between adults.

That's the way to do it!

Seriously, I suspect that most people who have flown LH more than a dozen times have had at least one unsatisfactory or even unpleasant customer service experience. I don't think there are very many "bad apples", but just a few in customer facing roles can make quite an impact. LH needs to work on that.

That said, are they really worse than other carriers? I thought so for a while, after a run of poor experiences. But then I remembered that probably 80% of my more positive flying-related experiences had involved LH, too.
