Making Ice

When I overheard this conversation at a Dunkin' Donuts on Second Avenue yesterday, I thought my grandmother, who I loved and lost 15 years ago, had risen from the dead:

Older woman: How much is an iced coffee?

Counter guy: $2.39.

Older woman: Oh, I don't have that much. How much is a regular coffee?

Counter guy: $1.61.

Older woman: I'll have that. Can you put a few ice cubes in it?
