I had the complete opposite experience yesterday SFO-IAD with a legacy PMCO crew* as with the exception of being a little slow with the beverage service, I had no issues at all
Offer to take coats 'n jackets
PDB was offered (water or OJ)
Meal orders taken by GS and then front to back with a choice of eggs or cereal)
Hot towel service (towels were nice and hot ^)
Beverage service (like I said, a little slow in starting but refills were promptly offered ^)
Place setting promptly removed when folks finished eating
Coats & jackets returned 30 minutes prior to landing
"Thanks and goodbye" given upon deplaning
*this was my 2nd ever PMCO legacy flight and the first transcon and after hearing the horror stories, maybe I got lucky

or actually had a good crew (but now if someone can "do something" about the legacy PMCO 757-300's as this a/c totally re-defines the term "ghetto bird"

)
