I've been much more fortunate that that. In international F and J, I think we've generally had some form of predeparture sevrice, even if it was water and OJ (which is fine with me, especially mornings local time.) Domestically, probably 50 / 50, but that included mid-cons and less. On more than one, people took their time boarding and settling, so no predeparture beverage service was practical, nor was picking up and securinbg F passengers' coats etc.
