Basically she just wanted to provide one congee to either one of them, asking courtesy from one of them to give up their first choice.

And on the same flight, a GO also ordered congee for breakfast, but she was just being told that because she already got her first choice from the first meal, so she can't have her first choice for the second meal. Crew told her only around 10+ Chinese options were being loaded, and many of the passengers already didn't have their first choices at first meal. Soup noodles on the snack menu were also emptied after the first meal. She ends up eating nothing.
Wow that's terrible...not unless the other DMs traveling on that flight all wanted the congee, there is no reason for the SP to ask a DM to give up his/her option.

For the GO, I guess it's understandable, considering there were more than 10 DMs all wanting a congee.
