I didnt say anybody would talk like that. Just that they're correct. I'm sure they did it to be insulting, but in a way it's worse on the author as they've still written gramatically correct sentence.
"Why is eggs so expensive" is as gramatically correct as "Why is oil so expensive" and the same way that "you (sigular) is" iaccurate.
Plus you can absolutely count milks as a discrete quantity depending on context, if you say go to the store and get three milks or 2 milks from the cooler, meaning is perfectly clear. You could even say "go to the store and get a milk" which while again sounds awkward is no less correct than "get a soda" or "get me a juice"
Again, the reason the author used it is because that version of pseudo southern dialect which is actually just misisipi and ebonics is what Yankess consider all southern accents to be.
So you're incorrect.

But it's still gramatically accuracte.
