There's no such thing as "sure mate, you look like a nice guy, feel free to come in here for a while."
OT, but as an illustration of the mindset behind "carrying out to the letter", on SQ2 last night:
Passenger - "Can I please have a glass of water?
Stewardess - "Hot or Cold?"
Passenger - "Doesn't matter."
Stewardess - "Hot or Cold?"
Passenger - "Just any glass of water, doesn't matter."
Stewardess - "Hot or Cold?"
Passenger - "Cold."
