I drink Starbuck's mainly because it's within walking distance of work and it gives me an excuse to get out of the god-forsaken building on occasion. I too refuse to use the Starbuck's vernacular and pride myself in making my order sound boring and uninformed as if it was the first time I ever-ordered coffee in my life. As for the caffeine pick-up... I don't know if my youth spent drinking 3-4, 16 oz. Mt. Dew's a day has made me immune to any positive effects that caffeine has to offer. One afternoon after I blew my paycheck on an espresso and a vanilla latte I still had trouble staying awake. I even have a 16 oz. black coffee from the lowly Royal Farm's store each night on my way home from work and fall asleep without even remembering touching my head to the pillow. Is it possible that I'm immune to caffeine? Am I wasting my money buying fancy coffee drinks that have no effect on me whatsoever?
