Way too many sweets for my liking. I'm more of a Chinese or "burrito as big as your head" kinda guy on a quick turn.
The coffee though is spot on. I'm anxiously awaiting the Atlanta Bread Company to open on A, as they have the best coffee in the airport IMO and I never seem to be on C when I need a jolt. B is now a barren coffee wasteland now that the Italian place is gone - better tank up before you get there.

Have never understood the angst this company has for us being either fed or rested for our flights while all the time regurgitating safety safety safety.
Such a crock!

That's like saying: what anyone will remember about ALPA is that ALPA tried to bust the union of their in-house clerical workers.
Let's see, a union that tries to bust another union, and next...

Hypothetical situation:
I'm flying with Capt Longsleeves and we get to the hotel 8 hours and 10 minutes prior to scheduled pickup.
Being the law-abiding citizen I am, I insist on 9 hours behind the door to SSSS&Shampoo.
The stalwart captain insists on making the scheduled van to "keep the operation running."
I guess I'd call and work my own deal with crew tracking, and then fill out an ASAP/call pro stan the next day. Thoughts?

The FAA has already published clarification - I posted a copy of it a few pages back. They say that your 10 hours of rest must provide an opportunity to get 8 hours of uninterrupted SLEEP - weather or not you actually need that much is up to you, but the opportunity must still be there. As others have said, it's essentially impossible to get 8 hours of sleep when you only have 8 hours behind the door. So, if circumstances resulted in you only having 8 hours behind the door (rooms not ready, transportation issues, etc.) and you accepted it, you are essentially in violation of the FAR since there is literally no way that you had an opportunity for 8 hours of uninterrupted SLEEP.

^^^^^ As a professional Delta pilot, I strive to be the brand and embrace our customers. When I am forced (by the company) to haul ass down the jetway with a bag of unhealthy easy-to-come-by food product, it's embarrassing and I'm sure not what we want to be purveying to our customers. What's even worse, IMHO, is walking off the jet and see a fellow pilot scarfing a Big Mac at the gate in front of his soon-to-be passengers. That cannot instill a lot of warm fuzzies with the pax.
Certainly, if we're concerned about flight safety and projecting a professional image, the company can agree to a couple of crew meals (what, maybe $10 for two pilots?) and an additional five or ten minute turn time?

Im on a roll now. Talk about professionalism, pride and dignity. The company really does not care. Next time you are on 1st, 2nd or 3rd break, enjoy the walk of shame to your rest facility which is conveniently located in the middle of First Class: real eye opener
