I would guess that was what the FA was doing.
The flights were MCO-ATL-RDU (not as short as ATL-BNA) but I’ve never seen it done on MCO-ATL and I’ve flown that route many times in FC. Also the FAs didn’t serve the drinks on the typical Alessi tray they use to serve the drinks. The MCO-ATL flight, the FA served the drinks on some blue tray with cutouts for cups and the ATL-RDU flight, the FA didn’t use a tray at all.
