Did you get offered an upgraded snack with your punched boarding pass?
I've seen it get better then get worse though the more recent photo is the best I've seen it since all this started.

Last time I was there, the punch just got you a better drink (which I don't drink so useless, I guess I should have given it away to someone but its hard to do that 6ft apart)

don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but that surely doesn’t sound like a United Club job, more like a Polaris Lounge…

Edit two: lol - it’s just a general job description- all “ club attendant” positions list those
Since we are speculating, maybe as a compromise/cost-savings measure, instead of reopening the PL, maybe in the future, they will just have a small area in the UC with tables for PL customers only. Ofcourse, I would think that if they did that, they'd want to sell meals to non-PL too.
