Today I welcomed three children into my cockpit to take pictures and get wings, helped an elderly customer down the stairs with his bag, bought coffee and candy for the inflights during boarding, and did not go dumpster-dive nor have I in years. They are separate issues, and if you do it as my first officer when we operated the jet I will courteously ask you to desist. Good luck if you call me out on my "humanity" on that.
