A bartender has slammed customers who expect to be served more alcohol simply because they ask for "no ice".
TikTok user Jemima June, who is known as @jemimajune_ online, racked up more than 10 million views after reminding a customer that "no ice" doesn't equal more alcohol.
In the video, a customer can be heard asking for a tequila cranberry with no ice – but they aren't satisfied with what they get. After being served the drink, he repeats "no ice", to which Jemima responds: "There's no ice in that. Do you want a double tequila cranberry?"
Trying to keep her cool, the bartender told him: "Just because you say 'no ice' doesn't mean you're going to get more alcohol. Double means you're going to get more alcohol."
When you work in a bar, you come across all sorts of characters and quickly learn how to respond to them when they're acting up.
But since filming her reaction, Jemima has been accused of being "rude" to the customer.
One user said: "I don't like ice on my drinks because I sip it and I don't like the ice melting and watering down my drink."
Another user added: "What if his throat hurts and that’s why he’s asking for no ice."
A third user said: "When you literally just don’t want your drink getting watery..."
However, others believe the bar tender did nothing wrong, saying they understand what the customer was trying to do in this situation.
One user said: "The people saying you have an attitude clearly have never worked in the industry! It happens constantly and these customers need to be lectured."
"The amount of times I’ve had to deal with this same situation. They really think no ice means more alcohol - not how that works", said another user.
One more user added: "I always use the line 'You gotta pay a little more to get a little more'. It usually shuts them up."
