Oh, no doubt- as well as the great FAs that keep 'em comin' then collect 0 or 1 coupon, it's just another "nice thing that happens". One of my flights I'd had two of the
champagne sparkling wine sweet beer and the FA just wanted to see my coupons, didn't even collect.
The last two years have been crazy though- in April '20 I was one of about ~6 pax on an -800; you can't infer anything from anything lately
