Two problems with that idea. One, it would never get past the fire
code. Think of the panic that would occur should a fire break out.
Second, it would go against everything you've been complaining about.
You don't want to be treated like a criminal, but are content to wait
behind a gate to get the all clear from your server to be allowed out
of the establishment? Wierd. What if the server is busy with another
customer? Then you'd bitch and moan about false entrapment and how you
were treated like a criminal.

Another  poster pointed out that iced coffee should be chilled then
poured over the ice. I'm assuming that's correct. If so, and
considering the item wasn't offered on the menu, why didn't you just
explain it to them? Better yet, why not just order an item off the
menu? Sounds to me like they attempted to treat you decently and
accomodate your request. 

One last question. Your .sig suggests you sell items on E-bay. Do you
accept personal checks as payment? Do you ship the items out before
waiting for the check to clear?
