If you ordered a cookie and didn't get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.

However I don't know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don't think that should bother you.

I think what bothers him is that he had something that he liked and can no longer find. It may not be the case here, but companies (in the US) are en masse changing their recipes to be cheaper to manufacture and it's affecting the end product.

In the case of something like a cookie which can be made 1000 different ways by 1000 different companies, finding what you like took time, luck, or both. When they change the recipe on you, it's not a simple, "just buy a different cookie, dummy." It's a major undertaking. Sometimes you get lucky and this was the push that allowed you to discover a new, even better, favorite. More often than not though, it's just another part of your day that got a little bit shittier than it was yesterday.

It's annoying and I totally get it.

I understand your take and mostly agree with you. I just want to emphasize I'm not trying to call anyone a dummy or anything, just that it's OK to like what you like.

If companies aren't going to cater to you, yeah that's annoying in most scenarios.
