Why does status matter for PDB? It shouldn't. If you're in first you should get a choice of whatever you want for PDB. It's how it's been pre-Covid and how it should be post-Covid.

I'm a 1K and only once since "post-Covid" have I gotten my drink of choice for PDB. Every single other time I'm told I have to wait.
