Yes but I've done the exact same thing in retail.

Yep, me too.

I happen to HATE coffee. The smell makes me want to gag and the taste is worse.

However there are days when I need that extra pick-me-up that coke won't get me so I get the soy (lactose intolerant) caramel hot drinkee thing in a small with two shots of espresso.

It doesn't taste like coffee and I get my pick me up.

I've had lots of people come in like this. They want something caffeinated but don't like coffee.
Thankfully we have one fallback option I can suggest to them: flavourless energy shots.
It's basically Red Bull but you'd never taste it in your drink so you can put it an absolutely anything without altering the beverage.
