was surprised that there was even a meal given the late departure time. There was only one choice (enchiladas) and the FA took orders in order of status. Ended up that everyone who wanted a meal got one, as some brought their own food others went to sleep.

Saturday B6 didnt cater the espresso machines and thus no cappuchinos, lattes, americanos, etc. Lead FA wanted to wait for catering to go get it and was told 20-30 min wait but was overruled by the Captain who wanted to push back and take off on time. I know espresso is not as important as missing meals but a somewhat similiar situation.
I dont get why these airlines cant consistently properly cater & provide bedding.
