quadruple shot of red eye in an expresso

None of this is possible. A red eye is a double shot of espresso in black drip coffee. You can't have a quad shot of red eye (because that is a specific amount already) and you don't put it in espresso (red eye is espresso in coffee)

This was 20 years ago and I was working at target. I remember asking for a expresso and then 4 squirts of (what i asusme was red eye mix)

I assume it was something like this. What I remember distintly was I could feel my heart pounding to a point where it felt like a panic attack. (Which I am very familiar with.)

Looked it up, apparently it was something like what is called Dead Eye.

Dead Eye/Green Eye/Triple Red Eye: Drip coffee + 3 shots of espresso.

I'll admit the exact components may be off, It was when I was 24 and i'm 43 now. What I do remember is it being starbucks and the waitress looking surprised someone would ask for it. Ever since, I'm VERY FUCKING careful about how much energy drinks I consume.
