New trend in Northwest espresso: embarrassingly dressed baristas

Thats not my argument at all! That is a completely false representation of my argument. I am saying these women made a choice and are exploiting the men who go there to buy coffee, offering a similar example where women can be doing something akin to this but they have been coerced into it by pretty shady means. There are ways women can get their kit off that are exploitative and those that aren't! I suppose you could argue that the money driven capitalist phallocentric society we live in coerces these women to serve coffee in bikinis, but that basically means we are all whores and is pretty meritless in the context of this conversation

I've decided I might actually go to one of these places once, but only to laugh my ass off if one of the girls burned herself. It's her choice to work there, but I have every right to think she's a bit skanky and not respect her choice of employment whatsoever.

I go to mines to laugh at the miners when the roof collapses.
redglasscurls:
I honestly do not care why she took the job. Saying 'ohhh she might be really down on her luck and helping her little baby cousin through school and studying to be a pro bono lawyer!" is like excusing all morbidly obese people because they might have a gland problem. Yeah it's possible, but not likely.
I know I'm going to come off bitchy here, but seriously if you take a job where you fling your tits around burning hot steam and liquids, I don't think you're too intelligent.

Even so, there's a difference between not feeling much sympathy for someone when they get injured when they knew the risks, and the kind of schadenfreude you seem to be (I presume hypothetically) anticipating.
