Ah interesting. Well maybe they figure if you are drinking decaf you are gonna pour in more sugar and cream to mask the fact that you are not drinking actual coffee lol. I know I would (do that)

Hmm interesting.. I've checked out the least expensive drink (in fact I've considered getting a children's hot chocolate before HAHA) but they price it the same.. oh well. I dunno if I would be able to sit down and get water without the baristas asking me if I would buy something or not.. Or, maybe I'm not looking forward to having that thought in the back of my head while I work.. that's just me though
However I stopped getting latte's thats for sure. I am not paying for a $4+ drink (post-tax) ...
