Question: what is the official policy for offering complementary snack and drink to EXP on flights without bev service?

To confirm your experience, as it has not been posted in this thread, the short haul beverage policy supposedly changed on June 1, 2017 to water/OJ on all flights under 250 miles and specifically removed all exception markets.
