A few teenagers who were part of a larger group; that were on their way to military boot camp; expressed being hungry but not having a card to pay for purchases. Some of them had never flown before or hadn't flown in a while. Since they didn't have a parent or guardian to pay for their meals; I accepted their cash and swiped my personal card to pay for the total of their purchases.
A Flight Attendant reported a group of men enroute to military boot camp were hungry; but had only cash so she swiped her credit card for their food purchases and received their cash in exchange.
