Stupid Question: Is it weird to give flight attendants a small gift of appreciation? For context, my wife and I are leaving for our honeymoon in France soon so obviously we’re in quite a good mood. I used to work for a high-end chocolate shop and I still get plenty of free chocolate.

Flight attendants… do you know the story the whole time? For example, today I sat on the plane after we boarded for 4 hours before taking off due to “paperwork” around a scratch on the side of our plane. We had the opportunity to get off since they reopened the door, but they said we would be good to go in 30 minutes so I didn’t want to risk shooting myself in the foot. 4 hours later, we take off, I m…
