Learning to get what I want

[nisaa]

Recently I started asking for drinks without ice. It's a little thing that will help improve my digestion and blah blah blah that I've learned in school. Sometimes, this makes me look like a bitch, but I keep asking anyway. My friend K commented today while we were at Starbucks, that it's a good lesson that can be applied to everything. I'm not satisfied. That's not what I asked for.

Today the barista who made the drink seemed a little pissy about it because she gave me back a cup that was not full of iced tea and lemonade. It was empty about an inch where the ice was. I didn't push the issue. I'm not quite there yet.
