Are those sodas caffeinated?

Speaking as someone who has to deal with Cokes in the brown cans when I raid a certain relative's fridge, yes, LDS members eschew caffeine in all its evil forms.
― pplains, Monday, 30 November 2015 14:54 (eight years ago) link
I think so? It doesn't have any mention in the article about the weirdness of them serving mostly non-caffeinated stuff, which you would think relevant.

Huh.
Finally, another small correction: Despite what was reported, the Church revelation spelling out health practices (Doctrine and Covenants 89) does not mention the use of caffeine. The Church’s health guidelines prohibit alcoholic drinks, smoking or chewing of tobacco, and “hot drinks” — taught by Church leaders to refer specifically to tea and coffee. *

...if it doesn’t serve as a pipeline of new menu ideas, it’s difficult to see why McDonald’s would operate this concept. But there are plenty of non-traditional items on The Corner’s extensive new menu that would make distinctive McCafé additions.
Beverages include not only coffee (hot and iced), tea, hot chocolate, chai and tea (hot and iced) but also craft sodas ($5) [Note: all prices quoted here are in Australian dollars; currently 1 AUD = .71 USD] in flavors such as Lemon, Lime & Bitters and Cucumber & Mint. McCafé standards—milkshakes and smoothies—round out the beverages.
New savory breakfast foods on the menu include Cheesy Scrambled Eggs & Crispy Bacon Roll ($8) and those same Cheesy Scrambled Eggs on Toast with Bacon, Spinach & Tomato ($10). A new addition to the sweet breakfast options is Brioche Cinnamon Toast ($5). Open Toasts—open-faced sandwiches—are offered for both breakfast and lunch. Among the morning versions is Avocado, Tomato & Ricotta ($8). A new lunch option is the Basil Chicken with Bruschetta Tomato & Parmesan ($8).

kinda disappointed by this article's uncharacteristic lack of poetry, like a bad issue of harper's on autopilot, all democratic critique & effete dulled-by-failing-memory bildungsroman - also hey it is not topical ???, this all occurring in quarters long since concluded, do you have a specific interest in the mccafe heyday or are you just enjoying the archives (i love this, it feels genuinely like a hysterical take on the present, /recent past, like those awful globalization-panorama movies, babel, china, 'uncle sam's', 5th avenue, if not 'like don delillo' then at least 'like a richer & more stimulating bret easton ellis', i feel there are also fast food brand analogies we could make here) - but i'm consoled by the casual dispatch from barry klein in the comments, training a wry eye on the developments, reluctant to get too excited as a guy who's been burned before, encyclopaedic knowledge of failed pilot projects accumulated not only through company reports and the presentation materials that make it out of the lab but over short weekend-day day-trips with early starts, making the long drive to indiana count by being sure to make it there for the 6am breakfast, playing it safe & ordering traditionally but also comprehensively before catching up on sleep in the lot for four, five hours through until noon & then driving over to a second location right at the saturday lunch-rush peak to feel the heat of the operational complications, get a sense of table service via phone first hand, this man out of place able to feel the staff's whelm & so, calculating gains & losses on the fly - deinstalling the booth phones, laying off a greeter, saving some time forgoing wraps - also able to fully inhabit & be present inside a doomed & so temporary exercise, all food ephemeral but not at this level, not under these arches, almost tingling spooning the last of a commercially moribund branded red pepper omelette from his plate, knowing all this was going, the year 2000 this feeling something like a new phase, a younger man's game in retrospect, even this food service dawn from his chair now feeling so much like a dusk, like a close, the early twilight hours of the long night of the mccafé, all-day breakfast in this place just another reminder of shorter, sharper, younger days

Taco Bell going upscale with open kitchen
New designs feature open kitchens, communal tables and in some cases alcohol
Plans include opening 2,000 more restaurants by 2022
Elements include reclaimed wood, beachy note

Why does anyone do those communal tables? The number of people who like them must be really small and quiet because I only ever hear people say they hate them. At best, some people... don't care? (myself included)
Who is the person who is like SICK, COMMUNAL TABLE *high-fives stranger*

I would mind them if it was like eating a meal at the bar. You know, where people idle and make chit-chat but you've got not obligation to respond. No one's facing you at the bar other than the staff, though.
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 18 May 2016 14:32 (seven years ago) link
I have never had a stranger attempt to chit chat me while eating at a communal table at any kind of restaurant, they're like non-communal tables but with the vague risk of bumping someone's elbows. Maybe in the south or something it's different
