Starbucks intolerant of lactose intolerance, $5m lawsuit alleges

Three Californians who can't drink dairy say they pay extra fees for alternatives at coffee chain and claim violation of civil rights law

Is charging extra for non-dairy milk an act of discrimination against people who are lactose intolerant?

This is the question three Starbucks customers are raising by filing a $5m class-action lawsuit against Starbucks for making customers who do not consume dairy pay more for their lattes and Frappuccinos.
