ORD-SEA. Upgrade to row 5 on a 739 at exactly T-24.

The offer was the usual: chicken or meatballs. Unfortunately, by the time the FA got to my row, meatballs were taken, so it was chicken. As a 1K, I was a little miffed (don't we get priority?), but I didn't want to pull that card and just took the chicken.

My problem is that FAs, at least on this flight, seem to view row 5 as F-minus. These FAs did walk through the cabin a couple times, but they managed to pirouette back toward the galley right around the time they got within "may I have..." distance of row 5. I asked each of the FAs for a Diet Coke after dinner; one brought me an otherwise empty glass of ice and then disappeared, and the other forgot outright. Or maybe they're telling me to cut down on the sodas.
