Naw... this is just one of my button issues (one of the minor ones to be sure, but still a button issue).

The copious use of "Fuck" or any of its variants is a sure sign that someones button has been pushed.

I remember a few years back I had to pay extra to NOT be published in the phone book.
It made absolutely no sense to me.

Now my oldest is a no ice girl, but if they charge her extra, then they should give The Man his for free. You can't have it both ways.

And I'll take Marc's lemon, please.

Status: offline 		There's a restaurant that charges 50 cents for celery and another 50 cents for bleu cheese dressing for hot wings. It was the first time Master and I had ever heard of a place actually charging for those things when they should be a standard part of the hot wings meal.

We never went back lol.

Sorry but if something..like ice...is a standard part of a meal and you decide to start charging for it, expect to start losing a lot of customers.

Status: offline 		Ridiculous.  There are a lot of restaurants that make darn near all their profit on selling sodas that cost a few pennies, for serious money.  If they're getting so cheap that they can't give a few cents' worth of soda for which they get paid a dollar or so, I'd go somewhere else.

Status: offline 		This is the same thing as my thinking that if they are going to charge extra for another slice of cheese on a sandwich that comes with cheese, they should deduct for people like me who ask for no cheese. If they're giving free refills, they shouldn't have a problem with giving someone soda with no ice. And if they do charge, it's a case of being penny wise & pound foolish because some people will stop going there. Actually, given the results of this poll, probably most people will not go back.

So far, I've never been to a restaurant where they charged more for sodas without ice. Don't even have a problem with it when I go through McD's drive-through.

And they're right.  Ice is water that's been frozen.

I'm a 'fill the cup with ice and add soda' person, so it's really annoying. Even when I ask for lots of extra ice at MickeyD's, I get... 5 cubes.

I just order a glass of (free) H2O instead. Sometimes I might order hot tea but depends on how much they charge.

Local markets and operators always have flexibility in their pricing and this operator has chosen to charge for no ice during Happy Hour. We are following up with the operator to discuss the policy with them as that policy does not follow the intent of the Happy Hour promotion."


If its me, im going to drink as much soda as i want, with or without ice.
