Narrative:
On this flight the pilots turned on the seatbelt sign and gave the double chime at the same time. This is happening about 25% of the time on 737 aircraft. They do not seem to understand that we do a trash pickup when the seatbelt sign is turned on the final time. A trash pickup takes time. We are only supposed to do compliance checks when we hear the double chime; then go to our jump seats.
