Not complaining, mind.

This usually happens on flights with problems causing pax issues IMHO. Delays, mechanicals, etc. seem to lead to more comps than on the occasional on time flight. Last time I had free drinks in back was a flight that turned back & we were put on another flight that was also seriously delayed. Status had nothing to do with the free drinks. Poor performance was the reason for it.
