Dont get me wrong, it may look better having it all buttoned up, but are we crossing a line of professionalism here?
The company manual doesn't tell you the zip your fly either. So I guess you got that going for you.😉

Yup. I like the idea of carrying around a french press and grounds. I'm a coffee addict and I'm amazed at people's love for Starbucks and Dunkin. People, it's crap.

Their flight attendants also have physical standards haha

I'll stand in the rain for 20 minutes for a free airport shuttle to avoid paying a 4 dollar taxi ride to the hotel, and you expect me to buy someone a 6 dollar Latte?
Thanks guys. This will be my response. I literally cannot wait to go back to this 'bucks' and see if he remembers me. And I can't wait to NOT buy someone else coffee. Unless its for my crew, in which I will make sure he is not there to see it.

Isn't the major flaw here the use of plane water

I've never understood the reason for the tip jar at Starbucks or fast food establishments.
