An iced tea vent.
Permalink  
 

All I want is plain, regular, no sugar, no fruit flavoring, iced tea.  I'm in NORTHERN Indiana.  If I order iced tea, I shouldn't have to go through a zilliion questions on if I meant raspberry tea, or sweet or unsweet.  (Even when I use the words 'regular iced tea' I get the questions.)  And 75% of the times I order it at the drive-through, even after the questions, and saying NOT sweet, or unsweet, I get that syruppy crap that shouldn't be allowed to call itself tea.  And the receipt will say unsweet.  Or today, it just said "iced tea".  The default should be plain, not sweet.  

And two places don't have regular iced tea at all - only fruity or sweetened.  What is up with that?

I'm trying to no longer drink soda - haven't had a diet pepsi in over a month - but if this keeps up, I'm going to fall off that wagon.

Anyone else have restaurant or food frustrations to share?  Or can someone explain the allure of 'sweet tea' and how it managed to take over the world?

The allure of "sweat tea" is easy to explain. It's awesome!


(just kidding)

I'm not a big tea drinker myself, so I rarely come across that problem, but I do often come across the "screwed up special order", whereby asking for extra pickles ends up with NO pickles, or asking for no Mayo gets me extra Mayo, or when they swap them like I'll ask for "no onion, plus pickle" and I get it with "no pickle, extra onion". Sad thing is... it usually happens at places that stick the "special order" ticket right to the sandwich box!

It usually only happens on the rare occurrence of me using a drive-thru. So I try and avoid them like the plague.

One of our McD's was like that, Richard - except it was every order, not just special orders. People didn't pull away from the window until they checked everything. It's gotten better lately - I don't know if they changed managers or what.

It happened again last night - at even another restaurant! I'm going to have to start keeping a cooler in the car, I guess, and pack it full of home-brewed, I guess.
