    I call BULLSHIT! There is NO WAY that anyone who works in this field doesn’t know what oat milk is… keep trying to uproar your fan base but everyone on the PLANET knows what oat milk is…

      I’ve lived in France for more than 6 years at ind point, and I can tell you that sometimes they’ll just refuse to acknowledge English words.

      You vastly overestimate the level of English of my compatriots. This is a 100% plausible mistake for the average English speaking French person.
      Also unless it was a Starbucks or some really fancy coffee shop, we absolutely do not have oat milk as standard. And I’ve been to TLS, I don’t recall that kind of coffee shop there.

      I call bullshit too. Especially because I was at this exact airport a couple of weeks ago, and they specifically asked what kind of milk I wanted when I ordered a coffee.

          And you should never underestimate stupidity.

          When I was in the army, during one exercise a fellow NCO didn’t have his blank-firing adapter on his rifle, as it’s a bright yellow bulb on the end of your barrel. (It does two things, smashing the balsa-wood bullet of the blank and increases pressure in the barrel to enable properly function of the recharge even with the much lower powder-charge of the blank.)

          So I looked closer, and he didn’t have the safety catch on safe on his rifle. So I took it away from him — fast. And what you do to secure a gun is to remove the magazine and pull the bolt back to check if it’s loaded. And it was. Sure, it’s a “blank” with very low charge and balsa wood bullet, but it’s still not safe.

          My point being that this fucking töhö had been accepted in leader training and graduated from it in the Finnish military, when even the first minutes of any basic ass gun training should’ve prevented him from doing precisely what he did; pointing a loaded gun at someone.

          So I can completely believe a Frenchman not knowing what oat milk is, no matter if he worked customer service in an international airport.

      Completely agree! I’m a very basic know nothing food wise bitch, I’ve obviously never even had oat milk, or any milk that wasn’t just generic 1% or 2% to the best of my knowledge, and I know what oat milk is. If I was asked to buy it I’d have to read labels but I’m confident the store I shop at carries it and I could succeed in the mission. I’ve never had coffee that wasn’t just shit black drip coffee of whatever store brand grounds are cheapest and it wouldn’t throw me off, a barista has got to have way more exposure than my dumbass.
