This specific case is even better. If it’s a vadai eino Ben yomo what in the world is the tzad lhachmir??
Why is it vadai? You don't know what was in there yesterday.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I’m talking about a case where you were able to verify the past 24 hours.

(Starbucks consists is a combination a factors, none which are an explicit Gemara though)

Why is it a vadai? They don't make popcorn and churros every day? ETA, If this was up thread and I missed it, sorry

It's odd that a couple of kashrus agencies became "the establishment" here.

Odd but true. AKO is the establishment.

Whereas the response you got was you need the whole history. That is a טעות בדבר משנה

Maybe this is why they can't see it being allowed?

Why?
ChN"N that you have been arguing for the last 2 weeks?
ETA: UNless you mean to go back and verify until there is a known 24 hours of disuse with no remaining b'ein. I guess that can be included in knowing complete history.

I had been talking about a case where you did not verify it’s kosher usage the last 24 hours.

how does verifying kosher usage for the last 24 hours help regarding ChN"N? If it was within 24 hours you don't need ChN"N.

For metzius they're definitely the establishment, but I wouldn't consider them the establishment for psak. We already know that everyone says starbucks coffee is kosher, whether or not to rely on that l'chatchilah is an AYLOR question.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

But in one case the issur is still taam lshvech and in the other it’s a separate sugya of bishul mayim.
