It seems like a lot of businesses these days are doing every little thing they can to bleed their customers dry with extra charges.

And here’s another example that got a TikTok user all fired up.

A woman posted a video on TikTok that showed a drive-thru menu at a coffee shop in Seattle charging customers an extra dollar if they order a drink with no ice.

The text overlay on her video reads, “Do better Seattle! What the heck?! Am I missing something…”

I don’t know… this just seems like late stage capitalism to me.

Drinks are among the cheapest things that a business can make. They’re almost pure profit.
