Yes, it was and rightfully so, but, it also served to make places kind of gun shy. It is understandable if it is for a coke or something that is harmed by being watered down. Ice Tea has a very hard time being watered down when it is 99% water to begin with.

People that don't go for Iced Tea do not understand how it works and no one is trained, they simply do things like they would like it to be. I have made a habit now of just saying... lot's of ice please!

And living down south I have to also tell them I want unsweetened tea otherwise I will automatically get Sweet Tea. The diabetic inducer!
