Coffee sells itself, it doesn’t need women in pasties serving it to get it sold. Where are the morals???? The coffee shops have glass windows to intice men to look and want to stop by. One place even offers car washing and has male baristas on a couple of days. Seriously what is wrong here? Again coffee sells it’s self.

I think it is sad that coffee has succumbed to this type of “marketing.” It should be about the coffee and the skill of the barista; not what they are or are not wearing. I certainly would not take my family to a place like that. Apparently the “industry” has concluded that most coffee drinkers are male, or this would not have the momentum it seems to have.
As far as the truckers are concerned, I am with them. I am not a trucker, but have always preferred Dunkin Donuts coffee to Starbucks. What I prefer above both, however, is the small, family owned and operated coffee shop that is about the coffee. The issue here is not that different from the bikinis; it has come to be about every issue except the coffee and its preparation and serving.
Come on, if you want coffee go to the coffee shop, if you want half naked servers, go to Hooters (at least it is indoors and everyone has a choice).

The problem is the baristas are hanging out the windows of the coffee stands, you don’t have to go there to be bothered by it. You can be driving down the highway and see them. There are tons in WA State. And not only do they wear bikinis but they have taken to wearing their bras.

People love to complain about ridiculous things sometimes. What’s wrong with women wearing a bikini? What do they think they will see when they go to the beach?
