Can I buy a coffee from a convenience
store while I'm on the road? Rebelski
Zatal who was the senior post here at
the OU. He held that you could a
7-Eleven or Wawa's type of convenience
store. You could buy a coffee. You
should get the nonflavored just a
regular as long as it's not a flavor.
Just a plain coffee. That's fine. If
you're going to put any cream or milk,
you know, extra ingredients in, then of
course you should check to make sure
that the cream has hashkaka. So to any
other flavors that you're adding would
have to have hashkaka as well. Revelski
would differentiate though between
buying from a convenience store as
opposed to a coffee shop or restaurant
where even if they give it to you in a
disposable cup, there could be other
issues about the way they prepare it and
therefore he would single out only in a
convenience store would we rely on this
lenency.
