I asked for Orange Juice last week on my flight back from Rio and it was no problem at all.
I must admit I have noticed more and more chatting amongst the crew when boarding on short haul flights which I must admit is quite annoying but I can not say I have noticed it on long haul.
Talking of cutbacks Kahlua is no longer carried on board nor is there a grater carried in the galley which seems a bit mean as they can not cost more than a quid and are reusable.
