They must have lousy coffee if the main appeal of the coffee shop is scantily clad women.

While the situation is sad, it really doesn't suprise me much. There is a coffee stand on practically every corner up here. A couple years ago some started the bakini barista drive throughs (sp) and - yes- 5 am and the bikini (or less) places have the lines while the other places suffer. I guess it's just down to "how low can you go" The coffee is all the same -pasties or not- sad but true :(

Edit- yes I said pasties- there is a drive thrue about a mile from here where I could get a coffee from a girl wearing just pasties at 5 in the morning - if I wanted to wait in line- welcome to Tacoma Wa  :P  Gee I just had a cappuccino that no-one within ten miles can come close to- sorry sweety

Yeah.  I understand why it works, I guess.

I suppose if I opened a stand there, I'd pitch it with "really good coffee - and the unattractive barista keeps his clothes on for no extra charge!"

It's nothing new -- Cowgirls Espresso has been around, and discussed, for quite some time . . . the same is true for the now-closed Sexxpresso . . . .

. . . and many more.

 
A morning without coffee is sleep . . .
