If you get iced coffee or similar beverages at a place like McDonald's or Starbucks you know of the likelihood of getting a drink with more ice than anything else. The best way around getting a cup full of ice with coffee flavoring is to ask for light ice. So today I ordered an iced vanilla latte, light ice. After a solid wait despite only one order ahead of me one lady comes up to make the drink and fills the cup 80% of ice. I ask her if she can lower and she does, dropping it to 60%. Fine, I think, it's better than before.

So naturally when she gives me the cup there is a solid 25% gap between the drink and the top of the cup. I would think someone trying to avoid paying $4 for a cup of ice with coffee flavoring is a reasonable request and it is one that my neighborhood McDonald's does without any problem. But here you get the benefit of paying a premium for a worse product and experience.
