Comment on Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me

No I understand this. When someone is pricing a product, they price it off of how much it costs to make a specific amount. In this case it would be the amount of coffee in the glass given the glass has ice. Additionally when buying coffee or alcohol you are paying for the coffee or alcohol by the shot (30ish ml) and that is then diluted. For your case it would be diluted in milk. So by ordering without ice you are either going to get a diluted product, more than what you paid for or a less full glass.

I mean come on they literally gave you exactly what you asked for. What do you expect of a drink that you specifically asked for an ingredient to be removed from. Obviously you are gonna get less. They teach this shit in grade school. Would you prefer them to have just topped your cup with water, if so fucking ask ughh.

Sincerely a bartender sick of everyone’s shit.

sick of everyone’s shit

This is exactly the problem with most retail employees: they treat everyone like the small fraction of scammers that exist.

If it were my coffee shop, I’d just spend the few cents to fill that cup and I wouldn’t treat it as a problem until a significant portion of people were obviously gaming the system.

Penny pinching just gives off the impression that one doesn’t care about one’s customers.

In my opinion, commerce is a platform upon which community takes place. The people are the point.

Dude you’re comparing something stupidly expensive like liquor to coffee. like what?? 10 years ago, you could get an iced coffee less ice, it had like 5 ice cubes in it. Now they just give you half the amount of coffee what the hell? How can you even justify that? If we’re talking about some expensive top shelf liquor that costs $30-80 a bottle, sure, I get that. But this is literally sugary coffee and milk!

  Bars/ cafes also have to buy the fucking product. Do you not have object preeminence? Are things outside of your direct field of view intangible to you?
