Religious SLC based Flight Crew UGH!!!

Discussion

SLC is my home airport. I travel at least monthly for work and take about 3 vacations per year. I am Diamond and am usually in Comfort plus with an occasional upgrade to first class. On work trips, I very rarely will order an adult beverage on a flight. On vacations that are not long haul flights, I will imbibe.

I have had my fair share of bizarre interactions and/or observations of the religious SLC based flight crew over the years, but my recent experience takes the cake. Flew roundtrip SLC to Cancun and purchased first class for a special occasion. On the way to Cancun we had fabulous service, pre departure beverage, and 3 more drinks over 4 hours and 20 minutes with a full meal and two snacks.

On the way back we had Peter Priesthood as the first class attendant. This time the flight was 4.5 hours No pre departure beverage. He took away my 1/3 full first sparkling wine while I was still enjoying my meal and replaced it with sparkling water. I asked him for another sparkling wine and he acted shocked. Had to flag him down for every single thing (no paper towels in bathroom, can we clear my meal tray, etc). He was face down in his phone the majority of the flight or talking football with some football coach one row ahead of me. After two snacks and a full me, I requested my fourth (really 3 and 2/3rds as he took my 1/3 glass earlier) and final sparkling wine. He loudly told me that I had drunk two bottles already and he would not over serve me. I was shocked. Since when does 3 1/3 glasses equal two full bottles? WTF? I asked for ice water instead and he completely ignored me and never brought me water.
