New trend in Northwest espresso: embarrassingly dressed baristas
Orbert:
This is weird because as an old guy, I'm kinda used to being more conservative than you hip young people. But here I'm thinking "So what's the problem?" while some people seem genuinely disturbed or even angered by it.
Basically, I'm not that picky about coffee-shop coffee. Most of it is pretty good, better than the instant crap I make at home, and generally worth a few bucks if I'm out and need a fix. There are always multiple shops to choose from, so given the choice, I'll stop at the one with the girls in bikinis. Why? Because if I'm going to have some coffee and have the choice between staring at the walls while I drink it or checking out girls in bikinis, I'm going with the second choice. The shop with the best atmosphere wins, simple as that. This is The American Way.
It did occur to me that the barristas could get more burns, and more severe burns, than if they were more fully covered. But as has been pointed out, they knew the risks when they accepted the job. There are job which some people will not do, while others are fine with it so they do it. This too is The American Way.

My first thought was that this would be the absolute worst coffee shop to take a lady you are interested in to.
Blue Kitty:
My first thoughts on this is the increase of people getting burned. From the women wearing next to nothing, which Lunchy pointed out so well, to the people that may not have the capacity to drink coffee and turn their heads as the half naked women they got the coffee from walk by.
Everyone's getting burned.
Scandanavian War Machine:
luckily it's the Northwest so everyone is already freezing cold to begin with.
getting burned would be a relief.
