Caffeine Conundrum
Your Boulevardier popped into Peet's last Friday evening at around 6:30 p.m. He ordered a half-caf/half-decaf coffee, and the counterperson immediately went to work making fresh decaffeinated coffee.
It was inquired as to why there wasn't decaf ready. (Your Boulevardier was not unhappy; just surprised.) Sales of so-called "unleaded" should be greater in the evenings, it was posited, since people wouldn't want the caffeine to interrupt their sleep. The person at the counter responded that, in fact, the opposite is true: Peet's sells a large quantity of decaf in the morning, and very little in the evening. For that reason, it decaffeinated always made fresh after the sun sets.
Your Boulevardier cannot explain this apparent contradiction. Can you, readers?

Boulevardier this is Kris N., a reporter at the Daily Review. Please give me a call at 510 293 2479 or e-mail knoceda@bayareanewsgroup.com. I had a few questions for you. Thanks
One can only speculate. But I'm thinking that people work longer hours and sleep less so that they can accomplish more. I suspect they drink the caffine in the evening so they can get things done at home, go to bed late, and start all over again.
Such is our new society.
I don't understand any of it, since I don't drink coffee. That doesn't mean that I don't like the other types of drinks that Peet's Coffee offers.
