I have issues with this. The FAs preboard at like T-40 or so. It is their responsibility to make sure that everything is ok before the passengers board. If there was an issue like that they could have caught it early and have it fixed with no delays to the passengers
But, of course, that meant that they would work and not chit-chat...
Guess you don't fly much or pretty much just a one-sided person.
How many domestic flights you have seen the plane actually parked at the gate an hour or more before departure these days ? It often has tight turnaround times. Every FA have tons have things to do before departure, not to mention FA's main job is for safety for the pax, it is not like when they board the plane early, they would just stand there to chit chat the entire time before the pax board the plane.
And when it is a tight turnaround time, the catering would be stocking up the same time when the pax are boarding, you often see door 1R is open for that reason.
