Some would forgo the drink to keep the signed drink voucher. “I don't think I would have use it bc it's got his signature on it, I would have made the flight attendant give it back to me😆😆😆.”
Some were wanting more not of the vouchers but a bigger giveaway, “what about some extra miles you can pass along. Lol.”
