New trend in Northwest espresso: embarrassingly dressed baristas

yeah i am mainly talking about the actual, physical act of stripping for someone versus the actual, physical act of having sex with someone. i would feel extremely uncomfortable and humiliated doing either for money so for me it isn't such a simple matter of "well, of course i'd strip but i wouldn't have sex with someone, that's totally different". they both feel like sexual acts to me, one's just taking it further. however, i'm also talking about it outside of the social context where prostitution is (probably? i don't know a lot about strippers) the more dangerous profession because of the way a lot of women get into it and the risks associated with that, so it's probably a moot argument anyway.

ViolentDove:
I heard about this a few years ago, something similar was started up in Chile. I think it might have even orginated there? Anyhow, here's a mini-doco by the ABC's Foreign Correspondant show that presents some interesting views on the Chilean cafes. Apparently some of the girls use the work to find customers for prostitution. Also of interest is that a version of the cafe staffed by men was started up aimed at female customers, but it went out of business because not many women were into the idea of being served coffee by scantily clad men.

jhocking:
Y'know that brings up an interesting idea. I bet a coffee shop staffed by scantily clad young men would be pretty popular in my neighborhood.

ViolentDove:
They said despite the lack of women customers, it was pretty popular with gay men. I guess not popular enough to stay in business, however.

Edit: I'm curious if any of the female forumites would go into a male-staffed one? I myself probably wouldn't go into a female-staffed one... not that I really dislike or like the premise, it's just not something I think I would enjoy. 

Dimmukane:
I don't like coffee enough to consider going there.  The only times I go to any coffee shop anywhere are if I have a gift card from someone who didn't know me at all (Mom, I've been living with you for the past 21 years of my life and have had maybe 3 cups of coffee in that span of time, only one of which was here) or if I am really hungry/thirsty and there is nowhere else to eat (this only happened once, we missed the bus back from a football game and walked around Baltimore trying to find UB, my mom worked there and had a car, after 3 hours we needed to eat some dinner and my options were a Donna's and Taco Bell)
