Bag 'o decaf? Just stay quiet and dump the beans in. Nobody will notice before they're in their car and down the road, and if they do, and drive back, you can say "you left, came back, and now you're braying like a crazy donkey and expect me to believe you're able to judge your own sanity and caffeine response? PREPOSTEROUS! BEGONE!" and shuffle them back out. It's a cruel trick to give decaf to a caffeine fiend, I know, but it gets rid of the stress for that hour or two while the customers pile up.
Very tempting in those stressful times but, no. Being there for 2 years means I have respect and a kinship with lots of customers. I couldn't in good faith rip them off like that. AND I believe too strongly in Karma and all that business too so...I struggled and sweated through it, though I suspect most baristas in that situation probably wouldn't have. hahaha
People keep asking me if I want to be a Shift Supervisor. HELL NO. It's only 1 dollar more and soooo many more fires to put out on a daily basis. I'm happy being a (little guy) Barista. heh
