The flight attendants who do transcons on UA have been known to mention about the shades. I will say that I don't hear this on all my flights. Seems to be selective.

I can only hope that crews mention everything they have to say all the time; but we all know that will never happen.

If the crew did their jobs, the passengers wouldn't have to help enforce the rules.
