I just chalk it up to human error... A ring of the call attendant signal usually does the trick. I will give human error the benefit of the doubt and not outright laziness to the staff.

As for angling inwards, yes, one would need a little more periphal vision usage in some cases.
That's the thing though. If I'd realized the drinks had already been served, I would have flagged down a FA and asked for one. But I hadn't seen them come around, and couldn't see glasses on other peoples' tables (whereas on the classic pods, they often end up on the ledge that's visible from the aisle).

I've never pressed the FA call button. Am I just weird like that? I either wait until they come around, or I go up to the galley. On a flight, a legitimate reason to get up and walk around for a bit is something I enjoy
