I bring my own reading materials and don't rely upon on-board offerings. That said it is nice to be offered and was mentioned in a post I was quoting.

As to your assertion I disagree. I have no idea what DMs are offered and can only speak from my previous experiences which were being offered a bottle of water and being greeted prior to push back.

On the flight in question neither of these were tendered.

Last night I was greeted, but not by the IFM (ISM/purser etc ????). Regardless I had a pleasant but quick discourse and it was in line with previous flights even if no bottle of water offered. Service was fine.

As I ponder, is it possible KA offers the bottled water while CX doesn't? It might actually fit my experience more fully.

Go ask for some champaigne i do that for what i want usually- me = hot chocolate
That's not a libation typically offered in Y and while I wouldn't decline if offered I also wouldn't request it.
