Yes, that happens often on CityFlyer: meal offering in CityFlyer CE is excellent IMHO but generally a small number of meals are loaded, particularly if the J "cabin" is only 1-2 rows. Hence the order in which those CE passengers is served becomes important, particularly because with no lounge at LCY, passengers won't pocketed a supply of emergency rations to tide them over. Also note that CityFlyer doesn't usually carry paper cups in CE so if cabin secure occurs while you're still enjoying your hot drink, it can't be transferred into a paper cup.
