Sometimes when delayed and/or catering is in the way it is hard to do a pre-beverage. When this is the case, I try to take a tray of water out to F and apoligize. I know you guys fly enough to understand delays. I also ask each person if they need anything else. I do try to get their request when catering is out of the way. I do hope you guys don't think i am trying to be lazy. But i figure water is better than nothing. Though sometimes I am working with a lazy first class FA and they get annoyed.
