We spoke for about half hour, during which time I drank a small sized cup of their coffee. For some reason unbeknownst to me I did not request decaf, the result of which was that when 3:30 am rolled around I was still doing the same in my bed. The amount of caffeine contained in their coffee is far in excess of what is reasonably prudent for a human being to imbibe. We don't allow smoking anywhere anymore, but we still allow people to drink Starbucks. Terrible stuff, it ought to be banned. Last week I met with a client at 8:30 pm at Starbucks.
