the laws of the universe are suspended in international territory (or, if i wanted 16 oz. of milk i would have asked for it)
if had wanted an iced latte, i would have said, "i'd like an iced latte please."
if i had wanted an iced coffee, i would have indicated such.
i wanted an iced americano.
"i'd like a small iced americano, please." (barista goes to work, no problem. cashier has problem.)
"there is no such thing as an iced americano. you wanted iced coffee."
"no, i want the espresso over ice."
"you can't put espresso over ice, you want an iced latte."
"can i please get a double espresso and a cup of ice?"
"you can't pour espresso over ice. you want a latte. don't make her what she asked for, she wants a latte."
if i'm waiting for CAFFEINE, do yourself a favor and DON'T tell me it can't be done. unless we're in a parallel universe where there are some freakish laws of physics, YOU CAN POUR ESPRESSO OVER ICE.

OMG. My mom just spent like seven days ordering iced Americanos from Starbucks stores all over Santa Cruz, CA with nary a sneer from the baristas. If they can do it in SC, they can do it in NY.
