Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me

I went to dunkin’ the other day and asked for an iced latte with less ice because it’s winter and I wanted less ice. They gave me a cup that was halfway full of coffee. So I asked why and they told me they press a button on a machine, it fills it halfway full with coffee and then they add ice. So when you get a medium iced latte, you’re not actually getting a medium latte, you’re getting a small or a kids size nowadays of coffee, and then they just fill the rest of it with ice. If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…

I have never heard of this in any other country. What the hell?

    Each ingredient of an iced latte is factored into the price. Did they expect to get a free extra shot of espresso without having to pay for it? Or did they want their drink diluted with extra milk? OP is essentially asking for a large drink at the price of a medium. Coffee beans and milk are more expensive than ice.
