When was the last time your status was acknowledged by a FA in the “main cabin”?

Earlier this year I had a JFK-CDG flight in Comfort+. Right after takeoff, the purser came to my seat to thank me for my business and to let me know that if there was anything I needed, the crew was there. I took this opportunity to ask for the chicken salad (which goes away very fast), which I got.

They thank me so often for being a DM and MM, it's really embarrassing. I'm probably wrong but it seems like it happens on every flight, certainly in Delta One. On my last flight in C+, the FA said "Mr. *****, thank you for being a Diamond Medallion member and a million miler. We appreciate your business and loyalty. If there's anything I can do to make your flight more comfortable, don't hesitate to call on me.". It's a bit strange because she walked by several rows straight up to me. Weren't there other DMs in the cabin? BTW, this was an international flight so it's not like I was the unlucky sole who missed out on an upgrade.

I have no airline status, but twice in the last 2 years when I have had a middle seat near crying babies, I asked for wine and the FA refused to take my credit card. (I think both flights might have been AA though). Funny thing, is the crying babies don't bother me much, I just have a hankering for a dry cab on the way home after a long week of business travel. As much as airline service may feel dead at times, a few courtesies go a long ways.

Yesterday night, flying ATL-PVD, at the end of the flight, the attendant stood in front of the EC+ section and yelled at the back cabin thanking everyone for their loyalty... after which she walked through the FC cabin and stopped at each seat to personally thank each flyer. It was quite humorous.

what is this "Main Cabin" of which you speak? 
seriously ... I can't recall a FA in other than F/D1 acknowledging my status, but GAs have done so a few times when I've been boarding in C+
frankly, I'd rather they comment on MM than PM

I get so sick of it. Plus, my name isn't easy to pronounce, and they're always making an issue of it...please, I don't want anyone around me to A-know my name, B-know I shouldn't be in the main cabin, C-tell my wife where I'm going.

My wife and I were flying KE from ICN-DPS in economy. She is Gold and I am Platinum. Before departure, the a FA approached our seats, thanked us for our loyalty, explained the flight path and duration, and that we shouldn't hesitate to ask if we need anything.
I have never experienced that on DL in economy let alone in economy on a partner airline. As we were in economy for the duration of our trip our tired minds didn't quite comprehend what was going on at the time so we thought something was wrong when she first approached us.
