Bus Energy

I have a very friendly morning bus driver. He chats up people which could be irritating in the morning but for some reason I can handle him. Around 3 weeks ago, I commented to him how tired I had been feeling without my morning coffee. He mentioned some energy drink that he drinks every morning. He said he would bring me a flyer describing the drink. Next day he forgets. He apologizes and says he would bring me the one the following day. I told him I was going to be away so not to bother.

Yesterday was my first day back on the bus. He remembered right away and said he would bring in some information today. What happens this morning when I get on the bus? He hands me a can of the energy drink (X something). Okay. I sit down and I can see him watching me. I decide to take a drink because I was super tired this morning. A good day to test, right? I will admit that it crossed my mind how weird it was to be drinking something my bus driver handed me. I had to pop open a tab to drink it so I felt it was relatively safe. It worked. I definitely had an energy boost and didn't need to get any coffee until late this morning.

The catch? I can't buy it in a store. I have to buy it through an authorized seller from the Internet. Guess who is a distributor? My bus driver. Do you think he preys on morning riders for his lucrative energy selling business? No wonder he loves our route. Should I buy some? How else will I get away from this? If I say no, I can never look tired in the morning.
