Dear cafes of Melbourne,
I was hoping to discuss the subject of soy milk. Hasn't the Bonsoy crisis just been terrible? And all you wonderful cafes who purchase Bonsoy despite its extremely high cost, appeasing your bourgie soy-drinking customers, such as myself, are suffering.
However the crisis shows no sign of ending. In fact, just 20 minutes ago I enquired at one of you as to whether you knew when Bonsoy would be back, and you said you didn't know!
But here's the thing. I still want to drink nice espresso coffee. And I still don't want to drink it with dairy milk.
In short, I appeal to you all, lovely cafes with your commitment to first-rate produce and products, to please for the love of God buy some other kind of soy milk. Just in the interim. I know your regular supplier probably doesn't have it. You may even have to send a staff member to the supermarket for it. But surely this is the kind of flexibility and innovation that small businesses thrive upon. May I also add: For fuck's sake.
Love, Natasha
