The coffee reminds me of the number of times I've gotten meat in things. "I want the vegetarian [whatever]. No meat, please. No meat. None. Nothing that has ever lived or walked or run or swam."
And then my vegetarian whatever gets bacon on top or something. WTF?
If you're talking about ordering iced coffee from Starbucks, for whatever weird reason, our default iced coffee includes a sugar syrup. Which is what leads to the conclusion. At my store, we always ask whether or not you want it sweetened because, despite the fact that sweetened it is the default option, most people don't like their iced coffee that way. WTF, indeed.
Alas, I don't have a GOOD solution for you, but if you are indeed talking about Starbucks, just say "iced [size] UNSWEETENED *dramatic hand gestures of no* whole milk iced coffee with milk." Whoever is taking your order should be able to stick that straight on a cup without needing to mentally translate your order to our formatting or ask you any further questions.
I actually do say, "Venti iced coffee, whole milk, no sugar" whenever I order, wherever I order, and then there are a couple of "Two sugars?" "NO SUGAR" exchanges. And quite frequently I am pleased because there is no sugar. But a surprising percentage of the time, there will be sugar anyway. I'm glad to know that there's a reason just beyond mere incompetence.
I seriously question logic at restaurants some days. I once ordered a double cheeseburger at McDonald's (it was desperation!) and said extra mustard. Because I love mustard. I didn't change anything else on the order. What did I get? Lots of mayo. The logic baffles.
1. When the hell did I delete all of my O11 icons? WTF, self?
2. I got an email notice today that I had been gifted with a fic at the AO3, and I was all, 'bzuh?' until I realized you had just uploaded an older story. It was like getting gifted all over again! \o/
The good thing is, I'm pretty sure mousapelli's original batch is somewhere in the wayback of the takethehouse community, so perhaps I'll be able to work up the motivation to go there and redownload them. (Because, of course, my original downloads of them are on a hard drive I had two computers ago.)
