Mine are mostly trans-Atlantic, half Y, half J. There really is a huge difference between the junior and senior crews. Worst was from ZRH in Y - disheveled surly crew who could not form a complete sentence (chicken or pasta), which reminds me of my #1 question/peeve to share with CanWeTAAlk:

It feels very rude as a customer in any class to not be addressed in complete sentences. I get this in all cabins (although the chicken/pasta one annoys me the most) - "Drink?" etc. How hard is it to say "What can I get you?" or "What would you like to drink?" I always do my part to say "Please" and "Thank You" so it feels almost insulting to be addressed this way.

Are there any service standards for this?
