To be fair to that barista, the translation of “oat milk” in French (“lait d’avoine”) isn’t obvious if you don’t already know the word. Also keep in mind that the letter H is (almost) silent in french, so he probably thought that client just had a weird accent when they kept asking for “hawt milk”
Yeah but milk is lait, the guy is not dumb enough to think she was ordering some chaud milk by using both languages.
It’s either lait chaud or hot milk, or “hawt” milk in that case.
We struggle with the oa sound and some “arrr” sound (that’s what ended our pirate career). The worst English word for a French is probably “horror”, it sounds like the name “Aurore” with a hot potato in the mouth, something like “Howwowr”

Also hot is “chaud” in French which could sound like “oat”
