I was in the cafeteria getting lunch at school today, and while observing one of the beverage fridge things I notice hidden among the carbonated water and apple juice nothing other than Starbuck's DoubleShot espresso things. I jumped and threw out my arms in elation, dropping my Caesar salad, and when I returned to the Earth I jubilantly grabbed one of the delicious drinks and proceeded to the cash line.
"How long have you stocked these?!" I demanded of the cashier.
"A couple weeks, I think." WHAT? A COUPLE WEEKS? FOR MORE THAN THESE FEW MINUTES I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED STARBUCKS PRODUCTS IN MY SCHOOL CAFETERIA? Outrageous.
I then explained in brief monologue how I deeply appreciated the addition of not only the espresso but also regular Starbucks canned iced coffee and something else I didn't notice the label of. A formal request for the continual stocking of these items was put in.
The reason I am pleased with the availability of coffee to the cafeteria menu is twofold: One, espresso is just one of my favorite flavors. I may be one of few people who enjoy coffee more because of the flavor than because of the caffeine benefit, which is the second reason. There hasn't been a day so far this year when I haven't slept through 50% of at least one of the two periods I have after lunch.
BUT NOW I WILL BE A SUPER-AWAKE THINKING MACHINE. And when I get home, I'll have to piss. A lot.
The sad part is that this is most likely a passing experiment, like popcorn, and curly fries (which occasional appearances), and Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the cereal rack. :(
tl;dr
Actually, now that I think about it...I think we might have some of those too. Not sure. I rarely get anything besides the generic half-pint of chocolate milk. >_>
1. lol, you had school today.
2. stock up on it while you can. buy it all out. then you can sell it off to students when you have extras on exam days.
I'll pray that the Starbucks stays on the shelves into eternity.

When there's no Starbucks stuff, I get either a bottle of H2Oh! lime carbonated water (or regular if they're out), or 2 little cartons of 2% milk.
We just have soda and guava juice in my school. :(
lucky, all we have is water or milk

Up until this year we had several Coke machines. This year some federal mandate that affected my school prohibited them from carrying any non-diet pop, though, and diet pop is the worst thing ever, so I never drink it at school. Probably a good thing, because otherwise I'd drink like 4 cans of Coke every day.
lol, United States of whatever.
we still have all of our pop machines here in canada. :P
diet pop is actually worse for you b/c of the aspartame.

Yeah, but if they carried regular pop there are kids who would literally consume like 1000 calories daily just from pop.
At least diet has that horrible taste that tells you YOU SHOULDN'T BE DRINKING THIS.
Lucky. The best we get is either the Icy Cold to Go milk in regular chocolate and strawberry, the (new) 1/2 pint plastic bottle of milk (it looks like 1/3 of a pint) in regular chocolate and strawberry, gatorade (in several kinds), green tea (surprisingly good, actually), water, and Capri Sun juice pouches.
Also, please don't drink caffinated drinks frequently. It's HORRIBLE for you and especially for your Kidneys.

our school has very, very, VERY few obese kids, and we just stopped serving poutine this year.
if you don't know what poutine is, you don't deserve to know. it's the greatest food ever. One of the least healthy too.

French fries covered in gravy and smothered in cheese? Isn't that what it is?

Yeah, everyone has something different to say about benefits/detriments of caffeine.
Some say it helps short-term memory recall, some say it stunts growth, some say it prevents heart disease and Alzheimer's (which I'm not concerned about), some say it's bad for arteries.
I've researched the studies out of curiosity, and there's really no conclusive save for the official scientific stance that consuming less than 3 cups of regular drip-brewed coffee has no negative effects.
Starbucks coffee is terrible IMO. The only coffee I will drink is Kona coffee straight from Hawaii. Luckily, I have a sister who lives in Hawaii who sends me coffee on a regular basis. I couldn't survive without my three cups of coffee a day, 'tis my favorite drink. :)

It seems like opinions on Starbucks are either love or hate. I personally love the dark roasted flavor even above more premium coffees like Gevalia.
My school carries 7-Up pop.
I WISH THEY STILL HAD DNL. :(
You know, that "upside-down" 7-Up?
That was kinda fruity and awesome?
They had it freshman year, but it was gone by sophomore year. :'(
Cray-zee
Ok, While you drink coffe i will settle for Chocolate milk... :|
try drinking five cups of coffee at night, epic lulz will ensue.
my school sells condoms
I don't even use the vending machines at my school, even though there's a ton of good stuff in them. I just buy the daily salad, a cookie, and a cup of tea. I love tea. <3

Dude, I drink a Twelve Pack of Coke a week.
Not to mention the occasional 12 Pack of Snapple Apple.
I'm unhealthy :(
Weird Trivia: The Starbucks 'lady' is actually a Siren of greek mythology and the original logo had her topless. I learned that today from my friend.

dude, a twelve pack of coke lasts nothing here i drink it in 2 days no joke.
All my school has is milk, juice, and broken soda machines (and water fountains). The soda machines just eat your dollar half the time (the bottles cost exactly $1, no cans) and the other half, the drinks are at room temperature and not cooled at all. The juice sucks, they have such strange kinds.
Eww, Starbucks.
And for what it's worth, the only Starbucks coffee I really like is the White Chocolate Mocha. :P
