Hot chocolate locked up!
In the United club at SFO I looked for the hot chocolate couldn't find it, so I asked. I was told I had to go to the front desk to get some. The front desk for hot chocolate ? I went and asked. The agent said she would get me some and went to the back. After about 5 minutes she returned with one package. I asked if it was kept in a safe. She said "almost" - a locked cabinet. I was going to be there for 4 hours and asked for two. She said I could only get 1 at a time. I ask why they don't put them out where we could get to them. "Because people will take them!" I just shook my head, and walked off.....

I hope you said something and reported them. People like this should have their membership revoked and banned from the club. Pigs ruining it for the rest of us.

I came up with a good recipe - stir in 2 French vanilla creamers. Makes it creamier than just the powdered milk in the packet! Now, if they would put out a can of whipped cream!! Or we could go to the front desk and the agent could squirt a dollop of whipped cream over the top!

I, too, have seen someone grab handfuls of milano cookies and stuff them into all his jacket pockets...and that was at SFO. I was so blown away by his brazeness that I could barely describe it to my wife. At least I am teaching my kids how to behave responsibly in this world, and they are more gracious guests at UA Clubs than some adult pigs will ever be.

Look out...coming soon.
Generic Hot Chocolate will be available on the counter. It will taste like the chocolate version of Fresh Poo coffee served on board.
"Premium" Hot Chocolate will be available at the bar for $7 per serving. 50 cent discount if you purchase with your United card.
The United Club...keeping it classy.

However, I find that some clubs have hot chocolate, and some don't. In LA, the old PC in 6 has hot chocolate but the UC in 7 does not. I have not been able to find HC in SF but no problem in DEN, CLE or EWR (usually). I guess I know where to look now when it is not around.
I am just surprised that they will not mix it up for you as well (to make sure the appropriate amount of water and mix are allocated, along with one cup. Sigh!

I've seen this happen twice at IAH in the past few months. Happens right before they are running out the door before anyone can say anything.
