"Jawohl, mein Fuehrer!" was pretty explicit.
'Stimmt, ja. Und der Hitlergruß aus dem Rollstuhl auch, vielleicht.

Bestimmt!
2 friends and I took a Pullman bedroom on City of St Louis in 1965. We had a bathroom in our bedroom. Never a odor or problem, but in those days the waste went on the tracks, as somebody mentioned above, so no stopped up toilet like can happen with the ones on Amtrak today. And have happened on airlines too. They had about 8 toilets on the #747 going overseas and there would often be 1 or 2 with signs out of order. Those were long flights like a train ride, 12 hours out of NYC to Cairo, Egypt was the longest one we took.
I grew up riding trains and we always ate in diner, only place to get a meal in those days, no cafe car. Food was always delicious and never had a bad experience with whoever joined us. So it's just natural for me to go to diner and eat, but I would be ok with catered food they would heat up, probably would not eat in my roomette as I like to interact with other passengers and the crew. But I am willing to adapt as long as the food is good and a pleasant experience. Have not flown since 2003 so have no idea what the food is like on planes today or if they even have meals to serve.
I don't know about other airlines, but on American Airlines, passengers are charged for meals in coach but they are complimentary in first class. First class passengers can pre-order meals from the menu on the airline website. It isn't quite a dining car experience of years gone by but the food is good.
In my experience, the best cabin service was on Mexicana.

Back in the 80's when I was taveling on a regular basis - on a United flight from Baltimore to Chicago the silverware I got with the breakfast that was served in coach was from Mexicana.
