Was denying cust an iced espresso on principle right?

integrity of coffee, or customer 1st?

In Murky Coffee a customer tried to get an iced espresso, but was told that the store policy was to not serve iced espresso drinks because it destroys the taste of the espresso (or if you're a coffee nerd, ruins the crema). So the customer ordered an espresso and a glass of ice and poured the espresso over the ice in front of the sad barista ruining "the integrity of the coffee." While I'm sure it didn't taste as delicious, was the store policy correct to deny the customer the choice, or does the rule that the customer is always correct win?

First, coffee tastes like mud so the whole point is moot. If you serve flavored coffees, milk in coffee, soy in coffee, then there is obviously no integrity involved, just snobbery. Supposedly the best coffee bean in the world is collected from the droppings of a palm civet in the Philippines. No thank you. If you allow cream and sugar, why not ice? As for some pissant coffee jockey dictating what he will and will not serve, that is another whole issue.

No. That's ridiculous, the customer should be able to decide what they want.

This is like an architect only designing houses that he/she likes and not following customer's requests out of principle. Which is fine, they are entitled to do so - but the customer is also entitled to go somewhere else.
