In a world where dietary restrictions can complicate even the simplest of outings, one lactose intolerant man has taken to social media to share his frustrations with Starbucks, and it’s resonating with many. This viral post highlights the struggles of those who must navigate their milk aversions in public spaces, and it’s a situation that many find all too familiar.

Meet New Yorker Jake Thompson, who stopped by his local Starbucks on his commute to work, eager to grab his favorite morning pick-me-up: a Venti iced coffee with soy milk. However, his order went horribly wrong when the barista used regular milk instead. In his now-famous Facebook rant, Jake detailed the chaos that ensued, humorously lamenting, “This is the second time this month that my request for soy milk has been ignored. I’ve been to the restroom 11 times since this morning! My bottom is officially on fire. Do you think I enjoy soy milk? I don’t order it for fun; I do it to avoid a digestive disaster. I’m not a fire-breathing dragon here. Thanks for reading my rant.”

To add an extra touch of hilarity, he concluded with, “P.S. I’m writing this from my toilet.” While not everyone experiences the extreme symptoms that Jake did, many in the 12% of Americans who are lactose intolerant can relate to the discomfort caused by such mix-ups. His post sparked a wave of comments from others sharing similar experiences and frustrations.

One commenter noted, “This isn’t funny at all. As someone with a severe lactose allergy, this could have serious consequences.” Another added, “While it’s amusing, the real issue here is that customers should receive exactly what they ordered. I have food allergies, and a mistake can lead to hours of pain for my daughter and me.”

In a response to the viral post, Starbucks has reached out to Jake, promising to conduct training on dietary needs and lactose intolerance. However, Jake remains skeptical. “Many baristas commented saying they don’t take lactose intolerant requests seriously,” he stated. “It seems like a lot of people have had similar issues with their orders.”

Let’s hope that this situation leads to better awareness and understanding among baristas, because no one wants to spend their day running to the restroom.
