Most T. Ho's don't have soy milk, so I've been told and the couple that I've asked for it at and received charge extra for it.
There've been a couple times when 'Bucks has been out of it and they've given me my coffee for free and a $5 gift card, my coffee costs $2. That's customer service.
Although I have seen some dumb people there too. One girl just couldn't get over the fact that I didn't want a

instead of my "Large Yukon with soy please."
She stared at me and then asked "Why not?" Whilst twirling her bleached blond hair on her finger.
"I like coffee."

I would expect some sort of customer service when paying 7.00 for a coffee :rolleyes:
I pay $2.00
Timmies is $2.17 if I can even get soy milk and it's a way smaller coffee and doesn't tast as good, IMO.
I have to say though that the staff is pretty good at Starbucks. I've had a lot of looks and attitude when I ask for soy milk at Timmies, never once have I received that from Starbucks. I actually had a Tim Hortons girl ask "Why the hell does he want soy milk, gawd." My answer was that I was lactose intolerant and cancelled the order altogether. I would've taken black instead.
