To give me anxiety in the middle of rush

Apparently it's closer to 2% than skim in how it tastes but is less calories. So if you're on a diet you can save on calories without having to drink skim milk.

A customer asked for 1% milk and I was like "oh sorry actually we only have non-fat and 2%" and she just left 💀

i want to know what stores have it? ive worked at 3 different stores in two different states and ive never seen 1% milk on a order sheet.

I just did nonfat. No time for that silliness.

I used to drink a lot of 1% milk when I was a kid. Skim milk tasted like water. 1% was like milk flavored water. 2% is almost like whole milk (probably why Starbucks uses 2% for nearly all their drinks).

I don't see the point of 1% in an Americano though, just put less 2% in.

They probably just don't realize we don't carry bottles of it.

My store doesn't have it either... so I usually use nonfat and no one knows the difference... 🙈

It’s for people who mistakenly believe nonfat is healthier for you, or at least will help you stay thin, but don’t have the resolve to drink it because it’s watery and nasty.

A very small number of people seem to actually prefer the taste.

Just drink whole milk, kids. Whole milk isn’t the thing that’s ruining your diet.

To give us a chance to lie to customers, ain’t no way I’m dropping half 2% and half nonfat grow tf up

I very rarely take the time to mix milks. If I’m on register I take the time to point out that we don’t carry 1% milk and that we will have to combine nonfat and 2%

To provide the illusion of choice to our customers - I always do skim, one of my partners always does 2%, another mixes them.

For the Karen’s of the wrld

I don't have a gallbladder, so lower fat contact is best for me. However, nonfat milk is too watery

Karen hates baristas

I was raised on 1% milk and it’s the only kind I liked drinking before I became lactose intolerant and cut out dairy milk altogether. For me, 2% is ever so slightly too thick and makes me feel like I’m drinking fatty milk and non-fat milk is just watery and gross. 1% is the perfect middle ground.

To be obnoxious

Nothing. There’s no point.

Half 2% half non fat. Not sure why we technically have it. Usually I just do non fat

My taste buds are all burnt and dead but I bet for someone whose aren't, you could tell the difference if it's like a grande+ iced latte or something. For a splash of it in an Americano, it's hard for me to find the patience to mix it out, but I try, and I make sure to if it's a very milky drink.

I grew up drinking 1%. My guess is that most people are in a similar situation and they order it because that’s what they’re used to.

And most customers don’t know that we don’t actually have 1%, so try not to get annoyed with them.

"I'm totally not on a diet so I wont get nonfat but I'm kind of on a diet so I'll get 1%"

My store doesn't have it, when I tell customers that they ask me to do 1/2 skim 1/2 2% 🥴🥴

Wait isn’t 1% milk nonfat? That’s what I’ve been doing this whole time

Idk I usually disregard it and put nonfat because even if I mix it myself, it’s never going to truly be 1% milk

I always do nonfat
