Sadley I need to comment to earn points rather then upvoting replies that have already hit the nail on the head. Depends on the airline, however if you could have hit a call button and gotten the same without having to pay for it first...then anyone should be free to grab drinks and snacks that are in the corresponding area in the plane. On long flights from US to UAE, it was common for stewards to only come out for meal delivery times, trash pickup or make more coffee..the rest of the time they hung out in the back or sides and people were free to stretch and grab snacks and drinks. I have yet to see anyone get chewed out for doing it.
