I believe that some day caffeine will have to be made a controlled substance like alcohol. Consider the following scenario at a coffee bar played out between a customer and barista.
“Quick, another double expresso.”
“That’s your fourth.”
“Yeah. Who’s counting? Make it a triple.”
“Let me see your hands.”
(Quickly hiding hands behind back) “No. I’m cool, very cool, extremely cool … give me a double, now.”
“I cannot serve you unless you show me your hands.”
(Reluctantly presents one badly shaking hand.)
“Sorry, sir, but I’m going to have to cut you off. If I serve you when you are over the influence and you go and vibrate your car through a telephone pole, we would be legally liable.”
“Your loss. I know where I can find a street cart.” (Crying) I’m in control, I tell you. Why won’t this door open?"
(Kicks door and exits through cafe’s French doors)…
