Physical proportions? Ha! Come walk around a USAF aeromed squadron.

Don't know how they work it at ORD but when I used to frequent the USO at LAX, I would eat a snack once in a while, but leave the good stuff for the Marine recruits coming through...that was until I found out that at the end of the day, to avoid throwing out food, they have the Airport Police come over and polish it off. Helped myself when ever I felt like it after that.

even so, it's not really a cafeteria to be used while at work, it's meant for service members/families passing thru or picking up/dropping off family.

Why don't you guys say something to her then if it bothers you. No shame in doing that..? You could Thank her for her service or husbands service and see where it goes from there. I agree though its not a cafeteria

As I recall, it's also a non-rev lounge. Though, I agree that she shouldn't be eating the food meant for service members.

Maybe she's a food taster to ensure quality control and wholesomeness

Maybe the F/A thinks that by eating the free food in the USO lounge she can claim to be a Veteran. Then she can enjoy even more perks.

Keep an eye out for her at any American Legion posts in the ORD area.
