New trend in Northwest espresso: embarrassingly dressed baristas

You know, stuff like this.

This may be a little off topic but after reading that, and some of the responses to peoples comments, that person inspires nothing but rage.

Do it anyway, as often as you can. See if you can make their head go scanners. Why the hell should you dumb down your language simply because some people are afraid of words they can't spell without moving their lips?
Orbert, I wouldn't go because it would make me uncomfortable, and because it seems like they would be trying to bribe me with pretty girls, something I don't appreciate. If you are going to bribe me, bribe me with good coffee, low prices, or comfortable chairs (obviously the last one won't happen in a drive-through joint).

This morning while walking to the train I saw an empty McCafe cup lying on the ground next to the sidewalk. It was depressing on several levels.

Man that movie was hilariously depressing, if possible.

I never thought I'd hear that concerning the Barista industry... Oh those twisted baristas.

--- Quote from: benji on 13 Jan 2009, 11:36 ---The social implications of having my coffee served to me by women in their underwear is not something I enjoy. It smacks of female subservience and implies that I'm primarily motivated to interact with women because of sex.
--- End quote ---
That's your hangup, not the hangup of the women working there or the people who buy coffee there. I've been to bars where shirtless muscle men make cocktails, and I don't particularly like that idea anymore than I like having a set of tits thrust at me early in the morning when I am just trying to get a cup of coffee, but these women choose to work there and make a fuckload of money exploiting the male sex drive. In fact I think this is less demeaning than the average strip club because its unlikely most of these girls are strung out on meth and pills just to come into work in the morning.
