      I think the implication is that the customer is drinking alcohol frequently lately because the lady ordered in the way you would order many alcoholic beverages with ice.

        Your understanding and articulation of the joke is correct.

      Cause the English is poor. Replace “and so” with “and also” and it makes more sense.

        “and so” is perfectly valid as a conjunction for implying causation. “Thus” would be a synonym. It fits better than “and also” which doesn’t imply causation and so isn’t the right word.

          Yeah, but at least where I live, using “and so” or “thus” is less common than “and also” so weirdly enough their comment helped me get it. Lol.

      Someone didn’t know the Starbucks secret code so they deserved to be mocked, apparently.

        It’s not that they didn’t know Starbucks secret code (“iced” is a common term to use for putting ice in any drink). It’s that they used alcohol code instead (“on the rocks” is a common term to use for putting ice in alcohol).

          “Secret code” or “common term” so what? I’ve never said the word “iced” in my life. Guess that means someone will post some nonsense about me because of my vocabulary.

            Just because you’ve never used “iced” doesn’t make it uncommon. “Iced tea” is very popular beverage in the American south, for instance.

              Guess that means we should mock them.

                  Or, as one would say at Starbucks, under the ice

              If we’re getting all pedantic they actually typed it.

        Asking for a drink to be iced is the least Starbucks thing in the world
