We weren't even to 10,000 feet on my last flight (from SLC where there is almost always chop on the climb/descent (it was smooth though) and it's not like we had a long taxi or delay at the gate or anything) and multiple people were getting up to use the lav.
Arriving and departing from SLC is fun, and rough air does happen. But when you take off from MSP, with a slight bump, 20 minutes later, the coach FA's are still seated but the F FA's are starting service only shows that the crew did not want to do service. Since we all know that rough air does not happen in the front of the plane.
