Maybe you're right, and it's an age thing. I apparently look so old to the kid baristas that in the last few months, I'd say that two out of three times when I order coffee, the servers have started asking brightly, "Decaf or regular?" I was rarely asked this question in my younger years.
Heh. When I was that age, a heading-into-middle-age coworker once challenged me, "How old do you think I am?" I had no idea and grasped around for the oldest age I though I could suggest without insulting her. "Twenty nine?" She laughed and laughed and laughed.
The chains are always good with the decaf, for some reason. Less emphasis on different varietals (is that the word?) and specialized tastes, more on serving the masses with one dark, one light, one hazelnut, one decaf. Also, someone over at LJ reminded me that more folks are buying those Keurig cups, which might account for the loss of decaf beans.
