This might not be such a big deal on a longer flight, but on a short flight (this was LAS-SFO) it was the difference between getting 3-4 drinks and getting one.
On the short flights, you have to order as soon as the system is activated. You can't compare MCS with F. And, you have to be proactive with the touch screen.
