If you can’t drink milk, don’t drink milk. Drink the coffee without the milk. Or drink water or wine or tea or whatever else they serve.
When did a lack of little luxury accommodations like these milk substitutes become intolerance?
Does stocking milk ethically require that you stock alternatives for those who want something like milk, but can’t have it?
Exactly. If someone wants or needs to avoid certain products, that’s great. There’s plenty of options. But it’s not a restaurant’s job to cater to every whim. They can’t always have everything.

Lactose intolerant people can drink black coffee, non?
Yes.

Intolerance would be getting mad at someone for asking milk alternatives, which is what’s criticized here.
Nobody is mad except americans telling other cultures how to act.
The waiter simply refused the order.
