I know that at Starbucks, as a barista you are trained to fill up iced drink cups with liquid to the top green line, then put ice in until the cup is full.
Most baristas will not recognize asking for no ice as a health concern, but as you trying to get more for your money, and will percieve you as a cheap jerk who is trying to get more than you paid for.
And when you're a barista and someone asks for a drink with no ice, you have two options. Follow your training and fill the cup to the top green line with liquid, then give the customer a drink that makes them feel screwed; or fill the cup all the way, and feel like you're being screwed.
On a seperate, non-Starbucks note, I'm interested about this ice thing. I take ice in everything, sometimes to excess, and I'm curious about the effect on digestion. Do you know any websites or anything where I could read about it?
