"Flight Delayed Over Spilled Rice: Southwest Staff Refuses to Take Off Until Mess is Cleaned Up"

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant refused to let the plane take off until passengers cleaned up the rice that had been spilled in the aisle. The incident caused a delay, and the flight attendant reprimanded the passengers for their behavior. The flight was further delayed when a passenger went to the bathroom and did not return to their seat. The airline later apologized for not offering beverage service during the flight.
