There’s a Menu in Your Seatback Pocket?
Summary
Two flight attendants discuss the frustration of passengers ignoring in-flight menus and signage, often asking "what do you have?" before checking their seat pockets. They debate whether this behavior stems from sensory overload or learned laziness, noting that listing every option often overwhelms travelers who just want water. The hosts advise passengers to pause, look for information, and narrow their requests to improve the service experience.
