Not having a snack offered with drinks is fairly common. You ask for a drink (in just about any lounge) and you get a given a drink. If you want a snack, ask for one.
The CX F Wing is the same - plenty of waiting staff, but you won't get offered a snack.
In the Wing you cannot look up but you catch the eye of waiting staff just waiting to pounce. The Private Room is much more like road rage inSingapore - lots of intent and presence but don't expect to get any eye contact. Very frustrating as the first poster was saying.
