Just like before oat milk was being used in the US, but they had it in the UK. We had so many customers asking for oat milk after an article ran about oat milk at starbucks. In the very last sentence of the article it mentioned that it was only in the UK. You expect people to read more than the title to find out that you'd need to travel literally thousands of miles to get this? Really?

I don’t think other countries’ Starbucks have it, even. I googled it and the most I found was an April Fools joke from 2018.

I hear what you’re saying, but given the tiktok phenomena and all the customization already going on, I’m not sure corporate will consider adding more syrup flavors and boba inclusions too much of an inconvenience to the logistic chain (even if it actually is). I have a little bet with myself that Starbucks will introduce boba and milk tea menus items by 2025.

I get that. While in theory long term employees would have a handle on an extensive menu, Starbucks has too high a turn over rate to rely on that. I guess it must be cheaper to retrain new people than adequately compensate veterans. Doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m not a corporate goon and believe happy employees are a critical aspect of success so what do it know? Maybe they will evolve into having specialized bars and baristas. Like the coffee baristas and the tea baristas. Or, more likely, they’ll just say ‘make it work!’ Lol.
