BKK lounge noodle [looting]
For all you lovers of dry noodles I now know why they dont have many to offer. Just watched 2 women load their bags with all the dried noodles in packets and pots.

I have seen people tip trays of the kee wah biscuits into their bags at HKG.
Incidentally, and maybe deliberately, there are no packaged snacks at The Bridge for looting.

P.S. I do loot bottled water at Plaza Premium. I think my record is 14 when I single-handedly supplied every colleague with a bottle of water for the long haul trip to this year's offsite. Damn CX for not supplying water in Y on long haul (travelling in Y is our price we pay for getting the offsite), even if yes it is robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Maybe they are transiting in HKG and didn't want to be disappointed in Wing F's watery congee

Where you taking CX 2700? The lady in question. Was she wearing white rimmed glasses? If so, everyone knows this lady. She's a DM. Does this route 5 days a week. CX 2700 and back on 703 or 709.

Labour being cheap - do you eat out at HK regularly? Particularly at lunch?! So hard to find staffers I help myself as much as I can - even refilling my table's tea pots at Yum Cha.

We have no preference for mineralised water and the water the FAs serve.
An improvement to looting I'm starting to do - bring empty bottle. Last time on SQ it was a good way to get water ex-SIN (where water gets confiscated at the gate) - they have water fountain on board their 77Ws.
But are there water fountains in CX Y? I don't recall seeing them.

Btw, according to the 2012 census, the average monthly wage for a dishwasher is HK$ 8,948. That's a mere US$ 1,152 or UKŁ 760.

Labour's tight. On a coupon walk yesterday I saw "we're hiring' signs in cafe de coral, parknshop and Watsons simultaneously.

Comparitive to the rest of Asia (and Central America) that sort of wage for a dishwasher is at a C level.. full time office staff in the PH are at about US$300 per month with 100's of applicants for every position. Helper/wait staff at about $100 per month.

The only ones you can find in CX is the one in the galleries. But if you're travelling in Y on a 77H. I find the 'mini-bar/gallery' between 46HJK and 59HJK the most convenience. It's off to the side, without having to interrupt the FA's inside the gallery itself.

If I recall correctly, even CA's LH aircraft had a water fountain/dispenser too.
