I'm with you on this. I have no need to small talk. What's in it for me comes to mind.
Even if its as simple as getting a drink served immediately (this seems to happen on QF71) in whY.

I flew SYD-SFO-SYD recently in PE upgraded to J both ways. In neither case was there any particular welcome onboard or obvious Platinum recognition, though the service in both directions was good.
Interestingly enough, at check-in at SFO from what appeared to be contract staff rather than QF's own, I got an elaborate 'Thank you for your loyalty and for being Platinum' speech. This was at the economy rather than business counter, since there was no line. But my two other Plat friends on the same flight who checked in at a different counter got the speech as well.
By contrast, at check-in in SYD the entire F zone was closed and the J agent didn't even know it existed so was confused by my question about why it was closed...

Really? Seems quite unusual. What time was that?
Equally odd.the J agent didn't even know it existed so was confused by my question about why it was closed...
