On Ryanair that's not as common, though it sometimes happens, but Ryanair's crews seem to spend a huge time reconciling stock before landing, so on shorter flights there is a habit to rush the trolley pass.
Small, yet interesting article in the Times and Mail today about Airlines and their profit making extras that help their bottom line. Ryanair is the 5th globally for revenue from "extras" at £1.3bn, they don't mention who 1-4 are!

BA get a small mention of starting BoB, therefore trying to tap into this market.

"British Airways, meanwhile, made around 3.4 per cent in extra charges in 2015, Virgin Atlantic made 4.9 per cent, easyjet made around 20 per cent and FlyBe 21.2 per cent."

FR makes 43% of its revenue from extras vs BA who makes 3.4%

How true these figures are I don't know, it is the Mail after all!
