New BOB snacks and soft drinks

[PHLfa88]

Well I flew 6 flights yesterday and have to say that people are buying. I didn't have a single person buy the Arnold Palmer 50/50 at all. I believe it's a bit much for a 12oz. can. It's my opinion that they should keep liquor at 7 and premium drinks at 8 but lower the can of beer to 5. Hey, they'd make more in the long run. What I AM impresses with is that they provision this stuff for first class. They only have to pay for premium bevs in f/c if the "A" runs out and needs a product from the "B" in back. That came straight from the mouth of a product specialist yesterday. There is no transfer from cart to cart. My final suggestion though to US is GO CASHLESS NOW! ! ! !

Europeans use Cash...Not CC's...I rarely if ever had a european use a CC to purchase anything..

And don’t forget the points and miles earned by using a CC...

Thank you. I guess they went to the ticket counter at their local airport and purchased the tickets for themselves or family with cash too? Go cashless and the company will increase their sales even further. With doing so it makes the sales process much easier coupled with no cash in ANY hands. 😉 Boy would that tick off those that like to pay their mortgage.

Well, well, well what do ya know we're going cashless. YES FOLKS CASHLESS ! ! ! ! Right out of Hectors mouth at the last PHX crew news session. Hector said that though it would seem a better choice to offer the customer the choice of cash or credit it actually costs the company. It costs the company to handle money. So they will be rolling out cash free cabins sometime in January. Boy won't that put a damper on all those people who still travel the world with pockets stuffed with cash? AAAAHAHAHAHA All I can say to the company is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. What a relief. DING...Does anyone have change for a 20 ring your call bell.....DING...DING....DING.

I agree... think its the best move yet...

No cash should equal no deposit.


Yippie Skippy!

I wonder how many f/a's will have to file bankruptcy after we go cashless? I'm just sayin'...

The same thought occurred to me when we went cashless at AA June 1st. I'm not drawing any conclusions here, but the attrition rate has picked up a smidge in the past 3 months. :huh: 🙄

Now, let me say that you are going to LOVE being cashless. No more wandering around unfamiliar airports late at night trying to find the deposit safe--not that we actually ever did that (we just took the envelope with us to the layover hotel), but we were supposed to deposit at the end of each day.

No deposit envelopes to fill out--well, on domestic flights anyway. We still accept cash on International flights. You may also because of laws in other countries.

Now, a really useful piece of information...for when some smart aleck pulls out a dollar bill and points to the statement printed on all US paper currency--"This note is legal tender for all debts public and private." Here is the proper procedure.

Smile sweetly and reply, "Yes, sir. I am aware of that statement. It was added to all U.S. paper currency by order of the U.S. Coinage Act of 1965. It was to prevent people from demanding gold in payment. However, sir, there is nothing in the act that requires anyone to accept that bill for payment of debts.
How else, do you think gas stations, movie theaters, and mom and pop grocery stores can post signs that say no bills larger than $20. That same legal tender statement is on the $10,000 Treasury note as well.

Beside that sir, note that it says 'legal tender for debts.' If you don't have a valid credit or debit card, I can't give you the beer. Therefore, no debt has been incurred."

If they persist, just say "Sir, if you wish to file a complaint please contact Customer Service at US Airways or the U.S. Treasury Department. For now, do you have a credit/debit card? Or, would you prefer some water?"

By the way, don't even think of offering to accept cash and put it on your own credit/debit card. I understand some Southwest f/as got fired for doing this after they went cashless. I heard that they accepted the cash from the customer and then accidentally "forgot" to use their card on the HHD to record the sale.

You're welcome. There is also the issue that a "tender" is an offer. There is nothing in law that says an offer must be accepted.
