Why is Subway so greedy with ice?

I've been to the Subway in Westfield say 25 times now. They seem to never put ice in my Fanta, except on two occasions.

Earlier I specifically asked for ice in my drink and I said please as well. I walked away, took a sip and it's hot as hell. The evil ****ers think they can get away with it because their back is turned when they're filling up drinks.

I swear next time I go there, I'm going to make sure they all hear me request ice, then at the till I'm going to open the cover in front of everyone and kick off a major fuss until someone gets fired.

Do you know what it feels like to walk away from Subway only to find out your drink is getting hotter instead of colder? :(

I've never had this problem at McDonald's. Or anywhere I've requested ice for that matter.

Should I try asking for ice with Fanta, instead of Fanta with ice?

Lack of ice?

I walked away, took a sip and it's hot as hell. The evil ****ers think they can get away with it because their back is turned when they're filling up drinks.

I would be more conceded by what they are doing with the Fanta (and by extension drinks machine) for it to turn cold, freshly mixed syrup and carbonated water to being 'hot as hell'.
 
Mc'D's only 1/2 fill your cup with your choice of drink by time the ice is in it add added to its syrup watered down with soda water they make a killing.

I am sure its chilled before anyhow so ask for a drink with no ice and get your moneys worth.
 
Cant put ice in a bottle mate. Never spilt one of those cups in my life.

But the bottles are normally (always?) in a fridge so they should be at least as chilled as the drinks mix. Ok, you don't get to crunch the ice if that's your thing but it also means the drink isn't any more watered down when the ice melts.
 
One of my friends insists on asking for no ice when ever he goes to a fast food joint, simply because he gets more drink in the cup.

The fact that drink, especially on days like today, will have a temperature somewhat similar to the surface of the sun seems to make no difference to him.

I swear without ice McDonald's coke is actually hotter than their coffee.
