I walk into Starbucks on this blistering hot day and order a large passion fruit, unsweetened iced tea.
"Could you please put the ice in a separate cup?" I ask. I don't like watered down iced tea.
Barista #1 hands me my drink. It's 3/4's filled.
"Can you fill this to the top please," I say, assuming it's a mistake.
"I'm sorry, I can't. We are only allowed to fill it to this height if you get ice on the side."
"What if I don't want any ice?"
Barista #2, overhearing our conversation, answers for Barista #1. "Then we'll fill it all the way."
"Okay, I'll have no ice then."
Barista #2 takes my first drink, empties it into a sink, and refills it to the top.
I walk out wondering what the difference is, or has ice just become expensive.
