I can not stand bad attitudes in people in whatever walk of life, but especially in air stewardesses, I expect them to be warm and friendly. I fly Norwegian or Flybe and the staff are ultra friendly, The message is simple, you are being paid to do a job, you may as well do it properly and with kindness to your fellow man. Well chosen words and imagery. Faye

Well, at least you got your beverages?! LOL... sounds pretty typical of so many folks out there just working for a paycheck. Nice flow from start to finish. Cheers!

Your words did aptly describe the woman who is the center of your poem, and you did a masterful job of doing so.
I like the ending where she sneers, "have a nice day,". How many times have we experience such a "canned" response when dealing with anyone in the service profession?
Great job!

Well, I don't think I want to take a flight with that attendant. Your poetry certainly describes her "don't care" attitude well. I think we can all draw our own mind picture based on your writing.

Fly the friendly skies, indeed but most of the stewardess male or female are friendly. Thanks for sharing the story, God bless you. Hugs! Lakeport.

It is so disconcerting when you take a trip and the people are indifferent, arrogant and rude. I am sorry your flight was spoiled, but your poems expresses your thoughts very well.

A neat change of direction in the second half of the poem made me sit up and take notice and put a wry smile on my face. It flows well but I wonder why you needed to hyphenate 'nondescript' and 'lipsticked' as these are words in their own right (at least lipstick is anyway) and not compounds like African-American which you have correctly hyphenated. A most enjoyable read.

Zing!!
I've met her, and her younger sister who works at the grocery store and is annoyed that ringing up my groceries interferes with her conversation with the guy working the next register!

Teresa you adequately describe the very same woman who has been on just about every flight I ever took.. and there's been plenty of them! Pretty pink lip-sticked lips.. that was well done..
