Cabin Crewe Get 10% Of ALL Sales!!

[Martin56]

Hi all, my Granddaughter has just qualified as cabin crew for a certain airline & told me they get 10% of ALL in flight sales. (Food, Snacks & Duty Free, Including some very nice watches, perfumes etc) 

No wonder then, they go round serving the Money People 1st, starting at the back & front of the plane, leaving those in the middle of the aircraft with what ever is left over.

It's happened to us on a couple of occasions & they just give you a knowing smile when I mentioned this - (Getting the Sh*t end of the stick, with not much choice that is)

Good to know how it works - Thought it was just Me!!

Interesting that Martin never really took a lot of notice , but it makes sense as what you say happens on practically every flight .

My Grandma always bought my school shoes out of her Co-Op Dividends  - I can still remember the Number, 117259. (Eleven, Seven, Two, Five Nine as she always said it!!)

And gave me 7 shillings & 6 pence pocket money every 5 or 6 weeks or so!! (9 shillings if she was flush)
