A customer in Sydney was outraged after realising an iced mocha was going to cost him an extra $7 compared to the hot alternative.
Comedian Matt Hey, known as Alright Hey on social media, detailed the conversation he had with the cafe employee and was flabbergasted by the price difference.
He claims a regular iced mocha cost $12.20 whereas a regular hot mocha cost $5.20 - so he ordered the latter.
'Tell me why I just went to go get an iced mocha and she said it's going to be $12.20. And I said, "How much for a hot mocha?" and she goes, "$5.20",' Matt said in a TikTok video.
'I'm so sorry.. come again? An extra $7 to have my drink iced? What do you mean?'

Matt then asked if there's more coffee or milk in the iced version, but the employee said both are a regular size and contain two shots of espresso.
'So where are you getting the extra f****** $7 from, mate?! Like, what do you mean? Where is that coming from?' he said angrily.
'You're not even doing as much work. You don't have to heat the milk. So why are you charging me $7 extra.. for what? You're mad, love. What's going on?'

'It's an outrage, honestly,' another wrote.
'You can get 2L iced coffee at Coles for $6,' a third pointed out.
One more said: 'PLEASE tell me you didn't pay it!?'
And Matt responded: 'No I got the hot one served warm.'
It comes as an avid foodie was left stunned after breakfast with a friend at a cafe cost almost $150 - or the equivalent of a plane ticket to the Gold Coast.
Mark, who shares reviews of cafes on social media for his brand Breakfast Shirts, visited Piña in Potts Point, inner-city Sydney, along with his friend John on Saturday.
He spent $47 after building his own breakfast with a $32 steak and egg plate, $6 avocado, $4.50 bacon and a $3 hash brown.
The pair also ordered and shared the cafe's popular $26 congee dish.
Their meals came to a total of $143.55, which also included three coffees and a weekend surcharge.
