Never expected, but always appreciated. I fully intend to keep the tradition alive when and if I decide to sacrifice the seniority for the upgrade.

Dammit, let me know ahead of time i would have had the Tullamore Dew rather than the "ohh no kidding- you got something new and expensive? That sounds great, double neat and a heavy glass please dont even whisper shot glass to me". FOs if the captains buying have what he's having or something cheaper, be respectful.
Yep. When I first upgraded I said something like "The drinks are on me - or at least the first three, I don't want to corrupt you." FO says "Three - that will take about five minutes." I say Ha Ha thinking he was joking. Nope - We rang up a $100 bar tab pretty quick.
Anyway we had a good time and now I have a great, albeit pricey story that I get to tell. Scoop

Maybe experience(old age) has taught me not to be so quick to judge outward appearances.

I personally like to wear my headphones and furrow my brow as I walk around ATL. Just to make the pax question my motives in life... lol
