I hope her manager doesn’t care :) probably not, it’s not like those cost the company a lot.
Yeah. It is rules 1, 2, and 3 that when a low-level employee does this kind of thing for you, you don’t publicly thank them or identify them by name and possibly get them in trouble. Your greatest and most sincere thanks is represented by you agreeing to keep quiet.
Melissa will probably be fine, but maybe not. Just take the cookies.
Yeah, thank her but not by name and airline. If she just said what she said without that and Melissa saw it, I’m sure she would know it’s for her.
I had the same thought, hope she doesn’t get in trouble. Seems like she created a loyal customer for a low cost.
Yeah it would take an executive office all of two seconds to cross reference twitter name (assuming real person) and Melissa employee on any recent flights. Dick move assuming twitter name is real name.
If the company has allotted a certain amount based on cost per flight, and the amount given to this person equals less than that, given the fact that the flight did not use those cookies, the company is still spending less than expected. Melissa did nothing wrong.
Great job doxxing your benefactor to her employer on the internet
Could have been cool and stfu about it but instead put Melissa at risk of being fired… Shit like this is why I don’t do favors for people at work.
Brandname “Biscoff” is a disgrace in its home country. The type of cookie is called speculoos, pairs well with coffee (and black tea!). Lotus, the manufacurer, decided to market the cookie outside of its home country by changing the name to Biscoff, a portmanteau of biscuit and coffee. Eventually they changed the name here too, which led to some backlash, but they stuck with the name.
If you really like Biscoff, they also produce a paste similar to peanut butter, but speculoos taste.
Now that you know the actual original name of the cookie, you can look for other brands, too.
Also, check out speculaas, which was the inspiration for speculoos. Speculaas requires a specific blend of spices, which speculoos lacks. “Loos” in Dutch is a suffix meaning without, like “less” in English (e.g. penniless), so it was a clever way to differentiate between speculaas and speculoos.
She probably just got this stewardess fired.
Nah. They didn’t do service during the flight, they had extras. Sure they can just roll that on to the next flight, but they plan a certain cost. Stuff like this makes a customer into a repeat customer without affecting the bottom line.
Yeah as long as someone actually smart thinks about it and not someone going “fuck she gave away like $150 worth of cookies to a random person, throw her out immediately”.
