I couldn't agree with you more. I had a colleague recently tell me that if I didn't like something in the workplace I could change and go elsewhere. If people are that addicted to shrimp salad with asparagus soup or a chipotle wrap with whatever flavor soup, then stop the complaining and stick around, pay more, and enjoy your meal in domestic first class. If you aren't that addicted to all of this and still are unhappy, then do as my former colleague said. Change. Status in a frequent flyer program can be addictive.
