When there's limited availability of something, customers come first... Employees come last... Especially when the FA's are using first class storage space.
Flyers shouldn't have to check a bag because an FA wants to store theirs in the overhead compartment.
Except if you don't make it efficient for your employees, you will inconvenience customers in a far greater way than finding a different spot to put your bag. And customers do come first when it comes to seats on the plane. Essentially customers come first on just about every aspect of flying, except putting bags in the cabin because the crew are on first. And for the most part there's a limited supply of everything in every business. Ever gone to the store to buy something and they were out? How do you know that an employee didn't buy one of the items? Point being that the logic of "employees come last" is painting with a very broad brush.
