Don't get me wrong I think the TK lounges are one of the world's great ones food vice and alcohol has and should not be the selling point of the lounges due to demographics as IST writes and nobody expects it including your truly.

What I don't understand is that if what IST writes in regards to hard spirits is right you maby have 5-10% of people that potentially would go for a drink.
So the reality would be that a very limited group of people would have any interest in the hard spirits of the the bar cards. Which is very much in line with my experience from the lounge. So why do it because it can not be a cost cutting exercise? and it will only annoy the limited group of people interested in the stuff but send a signal of cheapness to all including me that has no interest in the stuff.

As hfly writes management doesn't care about custumer experience/relations and never did. That's the luxury of sitting on a pot of gold where the rainbow ends. So I'm not expecting them to change it either but I fint them beyond stupid for doing it if the motivation is not political?

When it comes to pax behaviour in the lounge the lounges can be really bad, but it might help if the employees started commenting on it as I'm yet to see.
