I'm a Starbucks whore so it really doesn't matter to me.<BR/><BR/>Another one of these sexpresso places got in trouble in Bremerton (I think). The girl working there showed what the pasties looked like and they were huge! Like cover your entire breast and then some huge. So I don't get why people are so up in arms about this.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line - if you don't like it, don't go there.

This is worth talking about for more than 5 minutes?"<BR/><BR/>I agree that it's mean to label these girls as adult entertainment, but on the other hand how far does it need to go?<BR/>Stand A sells coffee in bikinis but stand B sells it topless (w/ pasties). Now stand A has to step up to the plate and be even more daring and outragous. Why?<BR/><BR/>I'm with Elwood in that I'm not above sneaking a peek if it's offered, but what are we teaching young girls about this type of behavior? Or boys for that matter?<BR/>That it's okay to flash your flesh if it'll make some extra cash?<BR/><BR/>I'm not being a prude about this, but parents know that their own kids aren't going to listen to all the sagely advice they're given from mom & dad, so all the self-esteem lectures are going to go in one ear and out the other. They see other people doing it and "being successful" at it so they're going to do it also. There's no motivation to be a better person just by being good at what you do and doing it better than anyone else. Be it coffee, baking, or construction.<BR/><BR/>I don't think this needs to be legislated but there should be some common sense "rules" regarding this type of salesmanship.<BR/><BR/>I won't give these stands my business, just because I don't think it sets a good example for younger impressionable minds and it just encourages more of this type of behaviour. (Also.. there aren't any stands like this in my area)<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to say "THEY HAVE TO STOP!" but really do we need to sink to this level to drum up business?Ferretnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11261512329615907191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-74037248945607775462008-08-06T08:57:00.000-07:002008-08-06T08:57:00.000-07:00I wanted coffee a while ago and saw a stand and pu...I wanted coffee a while ago and saw a stand and pulled over. It was a bikini stand, but it was a stand on the right side of 99. Whatever, my coffee was fine and the girl working there seemed very wholesome. Much more so than I.<BR/><BR/>I agree that making coffee in a bikini sounds dangerous. In college I had a roommate who once attempted to make bacon in his boxers. This did not go well. I assume that the same principle applies.<BR/><BR/>On a related note I used to buy my meat *snicker* from Central Market because the butcher there was hot. If he had been in his swim trunks I would have bought meat EVERY DAY.qtillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341878873082776791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-68159377817188355632008-08-06T08:10:00.000-07:002008-08-06T08:10:00.000-07:00Life is so much simpler when you don't drink coffe...Life is so much simpler when you don't drink coffee.

If they don't like it, don't go there. It's ridiculous to care if someone wears a little less to serve a cup of coffee/espresso when on any given night, your kid can watch someone getting their head cut off on network televsion. Some people seem to think violence is better than something of a sexual nature, and that is FUCKED UP imho.
