But decaf is like…the same price or more because of additional manufacturing costs to remove the caffeine content from the beans.
They still sold more of it, easily making up for the slightly higher cost.
Also, only having to stock one type reduces inventory, which has a bunch of cost saving, even if they got a slightly more expensive base product.
…who did?
It says in the post that people assume they need more coffee

Also I’ve never been charged for a coffee refill.
Coffee is usually free after you buy the first cup.
I assume you live in the USA? In Europe most coffees are just singular items you order, with exceptions in buffets / sometimes hotels.

You don’t expect good coffee in restaurants, and it’s hard to tell between bad coffee and bad decaff
Side by side, trying one after the other. I can tell they taste different. But walking into a place blind, and only getting one. I think it might be hard to tell.
Side by side you’ll notice the little kick depending on strength. But you’d likely be full placebo none the wiser.
I was at a concert drinking my fourth beer, getting nicely buzzed when someone told me those were alcohol-free and I just sobered up instantly. It was awful.
