Sorry Mrswirl, gonna have to disagree with you here. FA's are getting paid to service us -- the passengers. Yes, we all know that they are onboard "primarily for our safety." :roll: We paid for these seats, and service in them. I do agree to an extent that if personalized service is desired, one should pay for First/Business, but a simple cup of tea request on a 5+ hour flight is just that, IMHO -- a simple request. This is what FA's get paid to do. Period.
