I make the FOM/FAA required PAs. I operate the seatbelt and dinging IAW the manuals. Beyond that, I'm not their service level QA.

Ugh.
This is why I don’t listen to the PAs or the cabin intercom unless it’s absolutely necessary.
When Delta wants me to be the FA supervisor, they can send me to training and give me legal backup for the inevitable backlash when the write ups are filed. (Not to mention tamper proof sealed meals.)
Until then: “Not my monkeys, not my circus.”
Delta knows. HVCs are merciless in their critiques on a flight by flight basis. Let their supervisors deal with it.

If someone lies in my name, yes, I’m going to address it with that person. Sorry if that isn’t ok in your book.

I don't care what you do, just wondering what the objective is. "The captain says" is a generic phrase everyone uses to try to garner respect, deflect blame, or emphasize compliance (FAs, gate agents etc.) If they say your name, I get it. Still not worth my effort but that's me.

Also I DH alot. It's rare that I don't get service and when I don't it's legitimate moderate or worse turbulence. However I have been on multiple flights where it the Captain failed to have the FAs seated with obvious signs of moderate turbulence in the climb or descent on the FWV. One flight it was the same FA crew that I brought in with SEAT procedures and DHed on their next flight. Sharp lead FA kept her crew seated.

This times a million. Delta has the data not only is it not our problem to solve Delta data says FAs go above and beyond with customer service. Sure there are some that are lazy but that is far from the norm. I'm conservative with having FA seated if there is any kind of color on the climb and descent of the FWV. Majority of the times FAs are calling to see if they can start service.

Most of the time I get this we are in smooth flight conditions. Or just very maybe some occasional light chop. If I think it's going to get bumpy I let the lead know, kick on the belts sign and let the lead determine what level of service is required. This calling me up in the front demanding the belts be turned on, when it's not warranted, is no bueno. Someone started it somewhere, and we need to put an end to this behavior.
