I told them that failing to stock milk out of MCO was bad p.r. to attract future flyers - of all flights that should be a milk run...
Back to the OP I have no idea how rare it is for an adult to order milk with a meal but it's definitely an odd phenomenom you're experiencing. We happened to eat breakfast at Denny's this morning after flying SYD-LAX-SFO-SEA for about 30 hours yesterday and fortunately the coffee at least was prompt.
