Do you get too much ice in your coffee when ordering in the US? (midwest.social)

Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me

I went to dunkin’ the other day and asked for an iced latte with less ice because it’s winter and I wanted less ice. They gave me a cup that was halfway full of coffee. So I asked why and they told me they press a button on a machine, it fills it halfway full with coffee and then they add ice. So when you get a medium iced latte, you’re not actually getting a medium latte, you’re getting a small or a kids size nowadays of coffee, and then they just fill the rest of it with ice. If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…

I have never heard of this in any other country. What the hell?

A friend of mine refuses to put ice in anything because it gives you more of the drink you paid for and it doesn't get watered down over time

Sounds like a friend of mine that refused the free water at a Chinese buffet, because they were just trying to get him to eat less
