No, it's definitely a difference in cultural norms, not something driven by the store inventory.

This is not the case for dairy in an ice cream shop, or for wheat in a "whole wheat bakery".



Many ice cream shops literally have dairy free ice cream. Ben and jerrys famously has dairy free ice cream.


Do they ask every single customer if dairy is okay? Because that was the original point... not that the ice cream shop also offered non-dairy versions.


They don't. Well maybe in that part of town they do, haven't tried.


Yeah I don't even know why this is a thing, could be lawsuits for all I know, but it's not about the menu.
