Uhh … I haven’t drank soda in so long i don’t know what the caffeine content is… Do you know?
2 venti pikes are about 820mg caffeine
My shots only have 85mg per oz. So I’m at 510!! (Plus a refresher 55mg)
One day I’ll be under 200mg/day… Maybe. But that’s my goal
I will have to do some research and calculate the aggregate amount.
But on the bright side Starbucks is a lot cheaper than cocaine. So that is a positive!
Really tho!! Especially when the coffee is free! I’m happy you got a surprise and delight cup. Keeps my faith in the company alive 
If I go into a Starbucks and ask for a surprise and delight cup of coffee, will they look at me weird?
Lol maybe 
I’ve never had anyone ask for it…
I’d probably look at someone weird if they asked 
Maybe I need to try this approach in a more slight of hand flirty way…
'Hey good looking. I am really into surprizes. Aren’t they just delightful. Ooh La La…
OMG Barf…
Sad, very very sad, keep talking the medication it can only get better 
Well technically on a daily basis caffiene is the only substance I take a lot of so maybe drinking even MORE coffee will indeed be just the medicine I need to cure myself!
I guess surprise and delight is ok in some stores and a “coachable moment” (verbal correction, and up) in others 
I’m glad you went to one that still does this
It can’t make it worse, we’ll technically it can, caffeine shakes, irritable, snappy and trouble sleeping!
No wait that’s me you’ll probably be FINE (Frustrated, Insecure, Nurotic & Emotional).
I just love this thread and all the contributers, and best of all I’ve learnt things about coffee and of course Starbucks that I didn’t know, may the C8H10N4O2 continue to improve our lives and make us almost human !
WHOA…That FINE acronym is bloody brilliant! This thread is teaching me so many new things!
It’s almost time for me to go back into work. I’ll be doing a coffee tasting with partners (coworkers) and some sampling to customers today.
After I put away the order and help with the busy rushes
Maybe I’ll give someone a coffee 
Update: our Zambia reserve coffee was a 
according to all partners who tried it. We made it with french press, because our hot water is out and we had to manually heat the water… But it tasted like grapefruit rind… Maybe it would be good paired with something? But stand alone, not great
I am now enlightened! Does Starbucks ever let the public in on these tastings and if so how might someone like me participate?
I don’t know if coffee tastings are done with customers… I never have. But i have done sampling with customers and talked about the sample with the ones who were interested in more info on it
I didn’t make it to Starbucks today…How horrible of me…
Shame on you, take yourself outside and give yourself a good talking to; without your patronage today they could well have gone bust, your just lucky I popped into my local one and gave the some of my hard earned GBP to keep them going 
I got paid today to clean! And do a coffee tasting. And train partners.
Zero interaction with customers. And got lunch on the company for all the extra work that got done.
I offered to buy everyone lunch, and the new interim store manager said she would pay me back. So we all ate free today.
I got a chicken shawarma for everyone
Today was different than other days at work, but i like cleaning up, and now our store is spotless
I suppose coffee will be my hobby until the weather gets nice enough to go fishing. I even bring Starbucks coffee with me while fishing.
There are a few spots I have all too myself and I can sit in peace with a coffee and relax.
