I'm thinking of putting my lab in the cloud, and then grabbing these so called "manager" laptops/tablets to change my life. I'll get around to it...eventually

YVR MLL - Dom
Episode Title: Attack of the PlatePax
Approx 10:45am, staff were clearing away breakfast, washing serving areas and then started to bring out food.
However, vultures had descended and started circling, plates in hand (occasionally with a serviette). One person was annoyed that beer is only available at 11:00 and stated "Well this sucks". Another could not wait until the attendant brought the tongs for the cookies and helped himself with his hands, despite serviettes being right there. I took a quick moment to lecture him (because I can). He could care less and walked off with cookie in mouth.
Meanwhile, the crowd around the main serving station grew, more people with plates in hand. I thought they were going to grab an attendant and run off or something. Just too insane.
I'm only posting this one
(also noteworthy: according to several staff I spoke with, there was a huge influx this week of people using their soon-to-expire lounge passes and the MLL was overflowing.)
P.S. wasn't sure if I should post here or in one of the other MLL threads. Mods can move if necessary.

Speaking of passes, since no one responded to my offer for them in the other thread, I took my last 2 on my flight to YVR. Ended up in a very interesting conversation with someone who was a low-status person, as he had only recently started flying more for work. I gave him my passes. I hope he gets to use them before Sunday.

Agreed. Except most people in the MLL intend to board a flight. That's where there could be regulatory problems. A carrier could actually face certification action if an intoxicated passenger is allowed to board.
Sec. 121.575 Alcoholic beverages.
(a) No person may drink any alcoholic beverage aboard an aircraft unless the certificate holder operating the aircraft has served that beverage to him.
(b) No certificate holder may serve any alcoholic beverage to any person aboard any of its aircraft who
(1) Appears to be intoxicated;
(2) Is escorting a person or being escorted in accordance with 49 CFR 1544.221; or
(3) Has a deadly or dangerous weapon accessible to him while aboard the aircraft in accordance with 49 CFR 1544.219, 1544.221, or 1544.223.
(c) No certificate holder may allow any person to board any of its aircraft if that person appears to be intoxicated.
