That’s a waste of food Not many would be willing to advocate throwing out good food simply so someone could get their first choice of meal.

Staff can have it or maybe as a treat offer it to the elites sitting at the back of the bus

The entire concept of premium travel is a total waste (inefficient use) of resources. That bit of food waste is the least of the issues when it comes to flying J then. What about having more than one type of wine and the bottles that get thrown away with one glass poured? Even with the cheap wine served in J, I'd argue that's a bigger cost than a single hot domestic J meal. By your argument there should just be one type of wine too then?

As you can tell here, nobody cares. They just want their meal. So kill someone, dammit - just get everyone the meal they want.

As it stands, someone upthread that most should get their choice, and it would seem that most people, most of the time get a choice they are content with. Perfection is obviously possible, though to claim the system is abjectly a failure, let alone below a passing grade, is a long bow.

Food waste wouldn't be such a big issue if strict food safety and liability concerns were not a thing (between friends is fine, between corporations and public beware). The other main issue is one of space in the galley and, I guess , weight and fuel burn.

Great, I'll book Y and EconomyPlus from here on in. The meal comes with (because they'll surely overcater); I think that's the complete J experience without the cost (sans status credits and points uplift).

And I thought most people worry about the seat in J. (When it works)....I can see all those old.comments regarding food....reminding us all that we are not having a fine dining experience in an expensive restaurant...mno true...but we have an expensive ticket serving up cheaper food when available...that many fast food outlets!
