Anonymous asked: I had one customer ask me for almond milk and I told him we don't carry that and he got mad and said "wow Dunkin Donuts has something you don't!? That's really sad!" And proceeded to get soy.

to be fair most coffeeshops have gotten aboard the almond milk train but no need for him to act like a pansy prick

I hate almond milk so much because of this; if one more person gets mad about almond milk I’m going to scream.  Starbucks chose to go with coconut milk over almond milk to avoid nut allergy issues but also, when they tested it in certain stores, it didn’t sell well enough to justify the cost and allergy issue.

You know what’s even funnier, I went to a coffee shop in DC (Bakers and Baristas, I think?) and I overheard one lady throwing a fit because she didn’t like her almond milk.  Because it was REAL, pure almond milk with no added sweeteners and therefore sour.  So she got upset because it was Silk or whatever.

Moral of the story, someone is always going to get hissy that you don’t have what THEY want, especially in coffeeshops.
