I love Walker's Shortbread, but I have never considered it as breakfast food.
This is definitely a big ^ for the PC food selection.

This is great news and another sign that CO listens to the traveler!

I do have two questions:

1. Has CO looked anymore into the NWA WC type coffee machines?

2. When can we expect news of the reciprical agreement with UA to be announced? (I do like that we got Orange County and PHX at this time)

It's nice to hear that they've made some changes. I fly CO, but when it comes to clubs, I think NW beat them hands down. As mentioned, the PCs could use those coffee/cocoa machines. And I wish they'd have an automatic soda dispenser, like NW does. That way, when I come in at 5:30 am, I don't have to hunt someone down to get me a Diet Coke. NW also has those little fridges, the ones that hold all the cans of juice, tonic water, etc.

I flew through FLL a few weeks ago and was dismayed to learn that the only snack I really like (the soft cheese that comes in wax with a red wrapper- is it Babel?) is now gone. The bartender said that CO made them stop carrying it because they had to stay in line with the other PCs! If they really need to keep all the PCs offering the EXACT same things, instead of taking away a favorite treat, why couldn't they supply all the rest of the PCs with the cheese? Those other cheese pieces are too heavy for me, and I loved the Babel, or whatever it was called.

I AM happy about Walker's shortbread cookies- I lived on them last Spring in the UK. I look forward to seeing these changed when I fly to LAS on the 4th. I didn't see any in FLL or IAH a few weeks back, so I hope EWR will have them!

Also, not that I mind tipping the bartender, I do mind tipping EVERY time I go up to get a refill of soda. With a long layover like I had a few weeks ago, I would've gone broke if I'd had to tip every time. Still, I got a few curious glances when I didn't tip on the 3rd trip. We pay for the club, and its perks, so why do I give them a buck each time I get a tiny glass of Diet Coke? I'd do better bringing it in, but that's against the rules.

I love CO, have been a Plat for years and a PC member for the past 6. I enjoy their services and am not trying to malign them in any way. I simply wonder why our PCs seem lacking compared to others. At the very least, they could give us the coffee machines!

I also noticed that juices (except orange juice in a dispenser) have been moved to the bar and available from the bartender (instead of pitchers). I am not sure if this is a beverage consolidation (to keep refrigerated) or a health item (keep open bulk containers away from general access).

I am fine without those around

The omelets and waffles now that would be an addition! Even if limited to only international passengers it would be welcome.

Be careful what you wish for. I'm not a coffee drinker but I've heard mixed reviews on the NW machines.

So don't tip. I don't tip for every drink in the PC (especially non-alcoholic ones) and never received "curious glances".

Looking forward to the cereal. Didn't see it when I last flew in mid-Dec.

Awesome! Walker's is a very welcome addition, as is the Nutella.

CO Insider, please tell me ATL will be getting these too. They still haven't added the additional cheese selections that other clubs have had for over a year now.

Haha. Yesterday IAH A didn't have the Walker's, but there were plenty of Biscoffs, and a bowl full of Nutella.
