My wife and I recently flew Northwest from Dayton to San Francisco. Two days before I confirmed our vegetarian meal for the flight, but, of course, we didn't get one. The stewardess was rude and lectured us about making sure we confirm our meal request - which we had done. So we starved for the duration of the 5 hour flight.
Naturally, on the way back to Dayton, I called to confirm our meal request, and then asked the telephone rep to confirm to me that we would get food on the flight back. I said, "What do I need to do to make sure we get a vegetarian meal on the way back?" Her answer? Believe it or not: "Pray."
