A TikToker went viral on the internet after getting a halfway-filled drink from Starbucks Barista when she just asked to not put any ice in her drink.
A TikTok user, @chronicavida went to Starbucks which is located inside a GE store to order a latte without ice, but when the worker gave it to her, she became shocked as her drink was not even half full.
The content creator just got a few ounces of her drink in the cup. And when she asked the worker to give her more drink, she said her to pay 70 more cents if she wants to get a full cup of drink.
@chronicavida took this matter to TikTok, where she shared the video of her drink with her followers.
“I’m crying, I asked for no ice, and she gave me this with a straight face.” She wrote.
The TikToker’s video went viral after crossing almost 1.9 million views along with thousands of likes and comments from people on the social media platform.
“Was it an espresso drink? Because that would explain everything.” Someone questioned in the comments.

To which she replied, “It was a latte,”
“So there’s espresso in it obviously but why was she wanting to charge me extra for the milk?” and asked, rhetorically.
“POV: Starbucks starting this trend to stop us from ordering no ice,” another one wrote.
“Same as going to a bar and getting a cocktail no ice,” a third comment read. “You’re not getting extra alcohol for standard price, same goes for coffee.”
“So, the ice is how they get you, LMAO,” a fourth user wrote.
“Please, my coworkers do this sometimes, or if someone asks for a surprise drink we give them water,” someone else added.
“Kinda controversial but this makes me so happy as a Starbucks employee LOL,” another penned.
On the other hand, some social media users who are Starbucks employees described why the worker did this to her.
“They have to follow the rules because if numbers of ingredients and money don’t add up in the end someone will be blamed,” one explained.
“There are recipes and measurements for all the drinks… we can’t just make new measurements when you ask for no ice,” someone said.
“I’m a barista it’s not like the milk come out of our paychecks come on yall,” another commented.
