I wasn't talking that specific example, but in general of UA FAs. I have lost count how many times I have been refused to have the can of seltzer water after the initial pour to the cup. What are we rationing here?
There should be a meal on this route up front, but are you really surprised for a doggie bag for 2 plus years, and now just (1) snack. Asking for a second one is like getting a colonoscopy.

More context: asked for the remaining portion of the poured can, and being told they are needed for other passengers. I count such as refusal. I have also been refused the same in F. I have written some of these occurrences on FT. Also when requesting for no ice but getting ice anyway - par for the course.
You may have always gotten your requests, but that does not mean other people share the same experience. Both can be true.

Did you think the FA was lying?
If Yes, I would say that is Attitude.
If No, I agree that is technically a "refusal," but what if airline's policy is to not honor second requests until everyone has had their first request? Still the F/As fault for following company policy?

I fly hundreds of flights/year across multiple carriers, yet United is the only one with issues of customers asking for the entire can of beverages. I had this happened to me in the last row of F, btw (not just coach). Even if United has some kind of being cheap policy, that doesn't make my point invalid, does it?

Yes, I've been refused on UX (SkyWest) in F cabin the whole can February this year from LAX to SEA. She told me my initial glass finished the already opened can (evening flight so maybe the plane's 3rd flight of the day).. Told me that only 1 can of CranApple was loaded per day. Maybe there was a can in Y but she didn't go get it.
On mainline, when I ask for an unopened whole can, I usually get it. Maybe twice this year they opened it.
Actually I have gotten push back that there is no CranApple juice just Cranberry cocktail or Apple Juice (since this summer).. All were obviously younger FAs. That sure looks like a slice of Apple on the can to me.
CranBerry cocktail made with Apple juice
