Flight 1740 from Charlotte to San Diego April 19, 2022. There were three flight attendants that I noticed, one male and two females. I was seated in 5C (you should avoid this seat at all costs as it barely reclines). Flight attendants very welcoming as we boarded and boarding process went without a hitch. We took off on time. As soon as was safe the female FA came through with her list and took drink orders and announced the offerings for the meal. She then left for the main cabin. The drinks never came. The male FA started serving the meal which were on trays. He seemed completely overwhelmed with trying to serve 20 people who were expecting something better. Not sure if he was a rookie, but it sure seemed to me that needed help.

It was very disappointing service.
