I work at a coffee house, and it always annoys me when people order decaf coffee. Part of the experience of consuming coffee is getting the caffeine kick. If you don't want the caffeine, drink a different beverage— preferably one that tastes better. Coffee isn't good for you whether it's caffeinated or not, so why not get the buzz if you're going to take the hit to your health? Side: Lame-o

I don't know where you ever got the idea that coffee, regular or decaf is bad for you. Read what the Mayo Clinic has to say about coffee, both types. The two choices you give are more Lame-O than your argument! Why should drinking decaf be lame? Many people drink half decaf and half regular so they don't overdo the daily amount of regular that is recommended. The fact that you work in a coffee house certainly doesn't make you an expert on anything. But to say that people who drink decaf are annoying to you because they're not getting their kick from the caffeine is ludicrous. Have you never entertained another aspect of drinking coffee? The flavor! That's the number one reason people drink coffee...it tastes good! Side: Always good in moderation
