The whole reason I had a 5 Euro refreshment voucher from Lufthansa to begin with was because my flight from Stuttgart was so late arriving into Frankfurt that I missed my connection back to the US, and I had to kill almost 5 hrs. at Frankfurt airport before I got a seat heading back across the Atlantic. The Lufthansa guy gave me a 10 Euro voucher for lunch (which covered about 1/3 of my bill, but fortunately I'm on an expense account), and a 5 Euro voucher for "refreshments." THAT entire debacle almost calls for a ribbon and a T-shirt. So yeah, telling me that they could only put gross ice cream in my coffee was just sort of the cherry on that day's sad little sundae.
Oh, and it was our anniversary. I was supposed to get home mid-afternoon and we were going to have takeout and wine after we put the baby to bed. Instead, I got home past midnight, scarfed down a bowl of Cheerios, and passed out, since it was 6:00 CET at that point and I had been up for over 24 hours, excluding the hour or so that I dozed on the plane.
