Kyodo News: JAL put passenger meals in toilet?

Sa wakas after a long time, ngayon lang ako nakahawak ng English newspaper when I saw one in Osaka prefecture while invading Universal Studios Japan. This item first got me in all aghast and talaga naman nakakagulat.

Let's find out:

The news says, The crew of a Japan Airlines plane stored a snack cart for passengers in a bathroom during takeoff and landing to deal with a space shortage during a recent flight from South Korea to Japan, officialof the airline and the transport ministry said.
Officials from JAL and the Land Infrastructure and Transport Ministry said they did not see any safety problems posed by the incident. However, a JAL official said the crew lacked consideration for the customers when they put the meals in the bathroom, even though the packages were sealed. JAL Flight 958, a Boeing 767, left Busan, SK, at around2:30 pm. Feb.6 and arrived at Narita airport at around 4:25 pm with 280 passengers and crew members on board.
The crew put the meal in the bathroom for safety during takeoff after they found they could not put it in the galley. The galley was fullbecause an extra cart from previous flight was left in the plane they said.
After takeoff, they took the cart out of the bathroom and served the meals to the passengers and put the cart back in the bathroom during landing.

Well, how would anyone who travels a lot take this issue? For me it's not proper whatever the reason was. (Pero kung for safety reason eh what can I say pa, eh kesa naman di ako makapunta sa pupuntahan ko? Haler ayoko pang maging fertilizer. :D) Seriously now, there's always the right place for everything...specially if sanitation and health is involved to the matter. But anyways am sure the crew involved here has been reprimanded already by the officer of the airlines and hope they'll be more wary and conscious next time. Let's just hope this won't happen again.

Well...let's hope there'll be no more second time...if in case it's true.
