"almond juice" has been called "almond milk" in the french language since middle age. That's not the issue here. The guy probably order something that was not on the carte. That's it. There is coffee shop than specialise in fancy and complicated coffee based beuvrage. In a regular café, you should check the menu before asking for your favorite drink for a shop at home.
How do you not have oat milk though, it's the easiest dairy replacement for coffee.
No it is not. It is to you and your context. When it comes to plant-based milk, anything other than soja and almond is considered very exotic in France, most of people have never tried it. French people have coffee black or with cow milk. Lactose-free cow milk is part of everyday life and most of people don't have milk in their coffee if they don't want cow milk. As for latte, it is not a everyday drink but a treat and in many place people will not understand you are ordering a latté (litt: of milk) if you don't even plan of having milk.
I see. I've heard that oat milk is so easy to make that I thought it must have spread everywhere.
I've made some at home and it is by far my favorite type of plant-based milk but it is definitively an exotic beverage to the average Frenchman who anyway only eats oat in muesli.
France doesn't do new food stuff
Yes, I don't see how you can be indignated about something so trivial you need to make a post about it.
