Narrative:

Service carts are being placed in front of cockpit doors during flight on DC10-30 aircraft with upstairs galleys. This is a complaint I have heard constantly from crews. This is a safety item in addition to being a problem for crewmembers and jumpseat riders attempting to use the lavs. Please advise all flight attendants not to block cockpit doors.
