If the pilots were in the galley getting stuff from our stocks, I never minded.

BUT, if I've set up the cart or inserts for the top of the cart, that's work I've done in preparation for serving the customers, PLEASE have the courtesy to not un-do the work I've done in setting up the aisle serving cart. All I asked is that they stay out of the cart that I've got set up the way I want it set up. I never minded the crews helping themselves, but please respect the work I've done.

Though I always asked the guys as soon as I could if they wanted anything, so seldom did they have the need to try to find anything themselves. I tried very hard to take good care of my pilots, making sure they had a garbage bag, whatever drinks they wanted, and as much food as I was able to give them.

The galley is the F/As "office", however I was always fully aware that my office was in the CA's office The airplane is the CA's airplane, that is never in dispute. But I do have my workspace too, and I ask for a little consideration in respecting my little corner of the plane.
