Can you specify only a few pieces of ice?

[exDemMom]

You can specify no ice.

That’s why I always request no ice. They are going to dilute the drink anyway, so I’m not going to add to it by getting ice on top.

i ask for a cup of tea and a cup of ice

Sonic has no problem when I order a Route 44 Limeade with easy ice.
It even displays easy ice on the display. I don’t want 44 oz of ice and 4 ounces of liquid.

Ice is okay in iced tea! Imagine that!!!!!?

Reminds me of visiting Brit friend who insisted on “no Ice” in McDonald’s because she was convinced she was being short-changed. (Ice in drinks is a scarce commodity in England!)

“Can you specify only a few pieces of ice?”

I assume so, my brother always asks for “very little ice”, but myself personally I like a lot of ice. This wouldn’t apply to Starbucks, but so many fast food places have unlimited refills that no one has reason to complain.

Not that that’s going to stop ‘em!

I remember a soda shop across the street from the school that filled all soda cups full of ice. You were lucky to get three sips of soda before all you had left was a cup of ice. I once asked her not to put so much ice in it and you would have thought I had insulted her!

Ice is cheap. Oh, their milk shakes and malts were small and mostly milk and thin.

I got a large malt from a different burger place and it felt “wrong”. They had put a small amount of ice cream in the bottom and filled the rest with whipped topping.

There are more ways to cheat a customer than you know of!

[publius911]

No, Starbucks isn't cheating customers by adding ice to drinks

Ah...
But they ARE cheating customers with their wildly variable amount of foam on hot drinks. As much as a quarter the depth on a 20oz drink. At the fat end.
More often than not.

This is stupid in the extreme.starbucks is all about the order. If you want light ice, ask for light ice. The lawyers involved in this should have to pay all legal fees.

[trebb]

I don’t go to Starbucks, but the pace I do go to lets me tell them how far to fill and then add a few cubes to suit my taste. Starbuck probably does the same except in areas where you get a specific measured dose, in which case less ice shouldn’t be a problem.
