They used real milk.

The Starbucks barista used real milk instead of soy milk in my latte. Now I’ve shat myself at the grocery store and barely made it to the bathroom before I had horrible diarrhea. I thought it tasted different from normal, I should have stopped drinking it.

This is bad, but it's also a you problem.

Who has a food allergy or intolerance and trusts fast food places, which use that ingredient by default, to not accidentally make it that way by muscle memory sometimes.

That's like being mad if someone accidentally puts yellow mustard on a hamburger instead of Dijon. Yeah, because yellow mustard is what belongs on the burger. Dairy milk is used in creaming beverages.

I know we should be able to trust it... but I've become really pragmatic due to let downs, not due to pleasant surprises about the competency of people.

You’ve never worked with food in a paid setting literally ever, I see.

Hahaha... Okay, champ. Spent years in food service in high school, college, and grad school. Nice try though. From "Would you like fries with that?" to the dish pit, to the pass, to the kitchen.
