1) None of this is really that surprising, bothersome, or concerning.

2) @CX HK, wow, you must be a ton of fun to work with. Please may I never be put on a project with the Water Bottle Counter.

3) Yes, the products were placed for our consumption. Just as the 20cent can of soda was. If overconsumption or theft was a problem, they'd limit access to 2-3 servers who could provide upon request. Likewise with FAs, if overonsumption or theft were an issue, they'd limit access or implement stringent inventory controls. But they dont. See point #2 .

How this thread has gotten so much attention is beyond me. PAX that "steal" (myself included) are a far greater threat.
