So this seems to me to be an inexperienced IFL. Or you were flying between GLA and BHD!
Same experience for me last month in Club Europe, though the pax was in row 2 and didn't alert the crew until they tried to hand them a packet of nuts. Those of us in row 1 had already finished them by that point, but the rest of the cabin got a bag of crisps with the drinks instead, then the meal service was done as normal.
