I'm down to about half of what I used to have and keeping it for earlier in the day, I think it's working as I'm sleeping better

I'm a social caffeine consumer. It doesn't seem to have much of an effect on me and I carry on just as tired as I was before. I don't really drink it on my own, but I do like the taste of a good mocha so if I go for coffee with anyone I'll always get one.

Unless it's summer, then I'm getting me an OJ and there's nothing anyone can do about it

My partner always gets a mocha, loves them. I always get a cappuccino.

But the baristas will ALWAYS give ME the mocha, and my partner the cappuccino. Then we swap, in front of them lol.

Just a funny observation of unconcious bias lol

One of my workers at the last place would always have his McDonald's order fucked up. My favourite time is the time he ordered a large coffee frappe with no cream and those chicken salt shakey chips they were doing. He ended up with a medium chocolate frappe with no drizzle and still cream and spicy chilli flavoured shaker chips. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it happen right there with my own eyes. I got a large coke Zero and a regular chips and my order was fine. They also managed to spill half the frappe down the outside of the cup and didn't give any napkins. It was hilarious

He wasn't rude or anything either, he said hello, please, and thank you
