I have a hard time telling if something's diet or not when it comes from the fountain (because the mix is different usually) so I carry Diastix to test them with.

In the past, I've gotten regular (waiter screwed up and was pretty obviously lying about it), regular (fountain was hooked up wrong, waiter didn't believe me until I showed him the strip, was quite rude about it), regular (fountain ran out of diet), and half regular (fountain ran out of diet halfway through pouring). I never got anything free (or asked for it), though. I just wanted them to *know* and to know why it was important, and I was always polite about it. Unfortunately, it seems hard to find people who know the meaning of service these days.
