I didn't eat the meal, and asked for a can of the Pringles, they asked me for $2.
Is this typical?
If the IFE wasn't working, they should have given you an amenity coupon, at least if you complained. I think you have to eat what they have up there. If you want to get stuff from the back, you've got to buy it.
