Just ask for what you want - either a hot sandwich or snack box, and your drink - it will be given to you and the FA should not be asking you for payment and should just move on to the next customer. If they do, just say "I am 1K" and that should be enough. Don't be bothered by or pay attention to other customers, what you are getting for free is none of their concern.
