/r/starbucks wagies discuss their favourite morning shift drinks. They're all terrible and hardly any include coffee
Let's look at the comments.
Caffeine doesn't affect me so I need sugar to keep me up. I usually make myself a nice hot tea with some honey to sip during opening and then a sweet cream nitro shot a couple hours in and a nice hot chocolate with caramel for my first break. Then if I start fading later a shot of flavoured CF (sometimes with an espresso shot in it for flavour) to keep me going.
Dependent on sugar 
? I wonder why ?
Her profile is exactly what you'd expect: overweight, asexual and regularly reviews and posts about /r/toogoodtogo sweet bundles. She also uses the worst phone font I've ever seen:
Not coffee but 1. Half orange juice half defense up over ice 2. Melon burst topped w defense up 3. Melon burst topped w SAR and light Blackberry :)
lol
tropical citrus no green tea sub refresher of your choice :)
Venti Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew w/ 1 extra pumps of vanilla ❤️🥹😘
You're going to die.
i ask the partners i open with to pick a number 6 through 12 and then chug that many blonde shots, this typically wakes me up lol
You might already be dead.
If you are going to drink a very high caffeine beverage, make sure you use milk with the highest fat content possible, it will help shield you from a crash later and extend the potency of the caffeine. For me now, the minimum is breve but I used to just add a pat of butter to steamed coconut/almond mix and it worked well as a "bulletproof" latte.
This dude's adding butter to his latte 
If you don't like oat milk or blonde espresso, I recommend a shaken espresso sub 3 white mocha and 2 brown sugar syrup with cinnamon powder. I used to get half white mocha half toffee nut but…. Rip toffee nut.
Midnight drink, 3 scoops of vanilla bean powder, and extra coconut milk.
Apparently the Midnight Drink is:
Delicious flavors of sweet blackberries paired with notes of sage are shaken with ice, coconutmilk and blackberry inclusions—a perfect balance of flavors creating a refreshing, craveable beverage for the season.
Coffee?

Caffeine is a fricking terrible stimulant, the only reason everyone uses it is because all the actual good ones either require a prescription or are illegal. It makes you less tired rather than actually mentally stimulating you. Having any caffeine within 10 hours of sleep is going to disrupt your sleep vs good stimulants that are much shorter lived.
Burgers don't even know about l-theanine so chug coffee instead of tea.
If you just want to feel more awake take some Modafinil.

Amphetamines don't make you productive IMO. It's like making your self hyper active where you distractedly fiddle around with things instead of completing anything
better to get good sleep and a bit of green tea or caffine+l-theanine if you slept poorly

They should legalise modafinil as something you can just buy without having to import it yourself or pretend to be narcoleptic. There are literally no downsides

Just drink good quality black tea. I use https://www.stashtea.com/products/double-bergamot-earl-grey-black-tea-bagged as my daily as its not super expensive and easy to find. I also keep a supply of https://www.teakeepers.co.uk/product-page/earl-grey-vanilla when I want to be bougie.

If caffeine isn't having an effect on you, it's because you've built up a tolerance after years of abusing it.
I never had more caffeine than a hot cup of tea until maybe 3 years ago. If I have an energy drink, most of the guys on my crew think I'm on coke.

Caffeine never affected me until the last few years. I barely ever had it, let alone abused it. Even now, an energy drink does jack shit. A cup of coffee is nice though.

The hot chocolate she says she has second is 280 in a tall size without the extra caramel shot
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Somehow missed that comment. Tea with honey and "sweet cream nitro shot" don't seem that bad. The tall "sweet cream nitro" is 70 calories, so I'm guessing a shot is around 9 calories?
You might be wrong about the hot chocolate, the 280 calories one is with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. If we're charitable, depending on the milk a hot chocolate with no whipped cream will be between 190-230 calories. Add on a caramel shot and it's between 210-250 calories. Which is fine to drink once in a while, but every shift and we're in
territory.

7.5 quarts butter-flavored soybean oil ("Whirl" or similar)
2 quarts water
10.5oz garlic powder
11.5oz salt
Works best when you let it soak into the breadsticks overnight before cooking. I believe our ovens were timed for 2:45 at 425°F but it's been well over a decade
(Edit: might've been 9.5 / 10.5oz. i just remember one was an ounce less than the other)
