According to AsiaOne News:

MY PARENTS and I were on flight SQ865 on Jan 13, from Hong Kong to Singapore.

The Leading Stewardess was giving out The Straits Times and I requested a copy. I also asked her politely to pass another set of newspapers to my father, who was seated in another row.

To my surprise, she told me loudly to share the newspapers since we are one family and that there were still many other passengers waiting to get a copy. Can you imagine how embarrassing it was for me?

How would the other passengers think – that I was greedy? I was just helping my parents as they were seated elsewhere and could not speak English.

She could have said something along the line of “I’m sorry Madam, but can you please share if you don’t mind as we are running out of newspapers”.

I was stunned by her rudeness and could only manage a reply of “Okay”.

Singapore Airlines is supposed to be well-known for its good service, but why was I given that kind of treatment?

Was it because I was seated in the Economy class?

- Sometimes the service industry requires a tight slap on their face, time for more motivation on the workers!! I ever hear some waitress says “Thank you good bye” in the most zombie tone and tired eyes…like they never want you to come back like that.
