It's not like it's a small amount either. Maybe an extra 50 cents to $1. Starbucks & DD are like lactose intolerant people suffer!

I fucking hate them both. I swear I'm lucky I have a local hippie coffee house near my house that doesn't charge for this.

i caved in and ordered a regular milk latte and occupied their toilets for an hour, as celine would say bb think twice!

I agree. I want to use oat milk instead of nonfat milk.

I have to use non-dairy products for my stomach. Since I gave up dairy, I've been feeling so much better.

The clinical depression is another story,though. 😂😭

The way oat milk blew my fucking world. I've always been kind of eh about plant based milk but oat milk, damn. I will pay extra for it every time but I hope for a world where I don't have to

I used to be an almond milk person but now since oat milk blew me away I don’t touch the stuff. It’s so much better than the other alternatives

[soft_volume]

Same here! I thought almond milk was good but oat milk is goooooooooooood.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Chobani's extra creamy plain oat milk tastes JUST like regular milk it's nuts.

But plant milk is more expensive to buy than dairy, isn’t it? Is that just because they are gouging people who are willing to pay more or does it take more labour to make than processing dairy milk?

[itscaelsday]

Cow milk is cheaper to produce than plant based but it needs to stop. It's just torture for animals.

[elevatorshaker]

It's not even cheaper, it's just subsidized.

That can very well be true, but Starbucks also made record profit last year. They could lower the upcharge or remove it and still be good.

He made the comments after Starbucks reported a 31% jump in profit for the latest quarter from the prior year. Wall Street expected even stronger growth.
