I hope her manager doesn’t care :) probably not, it’s not like those cost the company a lot.
I had the same thought, hope she doesn’t get in trouble. Seems like she created a loyal customer for a low cost.
Yeah it would take an executive office all of two seconds to cross reference twitter name (assuming real person) and Melissa employee on any recent flights. Dick move assuming twitter name is real name.
airline, first name, recent flights were service couldn’t be done due to turbulences. I doubt that leaves more than one flight as a result.
If the company has allotted a certain amount based on cost per flight, and the amount given to this person equals less than that, given the fact that the flight did not use those cookies, the company is still spending less than expected. Melissa did nothing wrong.
She didn’t, but that doesn’t mean she can’t get into trouble for it anyway.
It almost reads like an elaborate attempt at revenge.

She probably just got this stewardess fired.
Brandname “Biscoff” is a disgrace in its home country. The type of cookie is called speculoos, pairs well with coffee (and black tea!). Lotus, the manufacurer, decided to market the cookie outside of its home country by changing the name to Biscoff, a portmanteau of biscuit and coffee. Eventually they changed the name here too, which led to some backlash, but they stuck with the name.
If you really like Biscoff, they also produce a paste similar to peanut butter, but speculoos taste.
Now that you know the actual original name of the cookie, you can look for other brands, too.
Also, check out speculaas, which was the inspiration for speculoos. Speculaas requires a specific blend of spices, which speculoos lacks. “Loos” in Dutch is a suffix meaning without, like “less” in English (e.g. penniless), so it was a clever way to differentiate between speculaas and speculoos.
I would like to subscribe to more biscuit facts please.
Speculous taste better than biscoff too
That’s just speculation
Ah, Spekulatius.
I hope American Airlines doesn’t fire Melissa because of this post.
fun fact: you can make these at home without burning down rainforests and giving yourself cancer from the palm oil!
Orangutan 😢
How many cups?
Huh?
HOW MANY CUPS OF ORANGUTAN TEARS
Thought it was pretty clear
Gallons upon liters of orangutan blood
I’m the kind of guy that will often happily accept stuff other folks are trying to get rid of, and one of my neighbors occasionally drops off random food, often sourced from airlines. I got a box full of Delta frozen manicotti meals, assorted coca-cola from random countries like Thailand, various chips, crackers and cookies – stuff like that.
Anyway, my recommendation for a really top-tier airline cookie is “Michel et Augustin cookie squares,” specifically the dark chocolate and sea salt ones in the pink package. Those things are awesome, and I have no idea where to get them locally/for a reasonable price.
This comment section is something else
Biscoff bandoleer.
I thought these were cigarettes at first glance.
You can actually buy those cookies in normal supermarkets.
Also easily bought at Costco
This poor guy doesn’t understand the immense joy that is receiving a random (wanted) gift from someone.
What tastes better, the piece of candy from the bag you bought, or one randomly handed to you by a co-worker? 😜
All depends. Coworker hands me a Peep, I’ll be nice and say thank you. But I’m not eating that nasty hell spawn shit.
I get your point though. Ain’t nothing taste better than free.

It’s like you didn’t even read my comment! /s
Also, for the sake of clarifying my original point: it isn’t necessarily that the cookies were free, or that there were so many of them. OOP probably would’ve been just about as happy if the flight attendant overheard her and made a point to give her just a single pack- it’s the being acknowledged and having someone make a deliberate effort for you that gives the warm and fuzzies here.
As someone who loved those fucking cookies. I saw them and bought a massive box. Had so many i had to pull recipes with them. They are great but never again. I’ll wait till the flight. They just taste better on the plane
Yep. And all of my grocery stores locally have it - either in the bakery or just on the cookie aisle proper, as well as the newish (5 years?) vanilla or chocolate sandwich cookies.
Used to buy these at the store, because I loved them so much on the flights. Then I checked the calorie count, and damn yeah these are just a special occasion snack.
So good. I like their cookie butter as well.
and what is the point of this? Rachel wanted to be famous https://www.instagram.com/rachel_leishman/
by the way i have biscoff smooth spread - nobody eats it
Send it my way, it’ll be gone in no time.
I am always so mies and mean spirited, but honestly after reading this (in the hopes it’s real) I actually smiled at how sweet this act of kindness was.
