I'm perhaps in the minority but knowing how AA schedules crews these days and knowing what kind of slop they serve in first class (let alone what they are giving the crews on the rare occasions they actually cater a crew meal), I'm not going to fault a flight attendant for trying to grab some caloric intake (and for some of us, Starbucks IS a meal - lots of the drinks are more milk than coffee) so she can keep powering through the day.

Given the lack of Starbucks on the way to DFW along most routes, its highly likely she grabbed it as she was either deplaning from one flight and heading to yours - or arrived at the airport and then grabbed it post security.
