I found this strange; I thought they normally only take note of GOs and DMs? There was no special service (no greeting etc, but that was expected as SL) up until the second meal service, when a purser came to ask me for my meal choice, as they were going to start serving from the back (I was seated in 31A). This too was the first time I have been asked in advance for my meal choice as a SL! Unfortunately I don't think she ever followed up on it; I was not served my meal first, nor did the FA serving my aisle know my choice when she got to my row. I really don't care: as a SL I don't expect any of this extra service, and I still got my choice.
Thanks for sharing. Even as a GO this happens to me in the past too - people came to offer me certain things, grabbed my consent/preferences and never came back to me again - if it's something not important such as choice of food (as I eat pretty much everything available), I don't really care. But I will follow up if it's something important to me such as a cup of water so that I can take my pills.
The fact that they had the stickers with our names were quite interesting to me... I never thought that's the case. Again, thanks for sharing.

It's somehow good to know... so that when we sit at the Emergency rows, which are usually next to the toilet, there will be less distractions from the waiting queue.
