'Sexy espresso' stands leave competitors steaming

A decidedly non-decorative woman. ;)

I agree, very non-decorative. Maybe the green-eyed monster is the reason she's protesting. lol

I was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and I saw this. I couldn’t believe my eyes! Made me want to get some coffee...

[raybbr]

"Would you like cream with your coffee?"

[cvq3842]

My only problem with this comes when I realize that the young women doing this are young enough to be my daughter, and then some. It makes me feel old! :(

Wanda has been serving up coffee like this for years.

[DemforBush]

Personally, I find the concept of $4 a cup coffee more offensive than scantily clad servers.

[Gator113]

Hmmm, my pulse rate is up and I haven’t even had my first cup this morning.

I may stop by there, but only with my wife in the car. ;>)

QUESTION:

Would any of you men let your own daughter work at one of these places?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Won’t last. In politically correct Seattle, some fat girl will sue one of these stands claiming she wasn’t hired because she’s fat and win a huge payday. The rest will fall like dominos. Welcome to Seattle.

[HamiltonJay]

No, but on the same token, I don’t drink coffee either.

You pretty much have to accept if your daughter grows up to be a stripper or work in porn, you pretty much failed as a father.

[VRWCmember]

It's a great concept for a barbecue establishment like Bone Daddy's House of Smoke too.

[Knitebane]

This beats the Clayton,NC Starbucks where the rude woman argues with me about how much it should cost to fill up my travel mug and thermos with black coffee at 5:30 in the morning.

Well don't go there then.

There's a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins right there on 70. Better coffee, less attitude.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I wouldn’t put the blame entirely on the parents when daughters choose such “careers”. I’ve seen plenty of selfish trainwrecks (male and female) that came from very good loving homes and put their parents through hell.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Funny! The sign would work if it said, “Some Women....”

[numberonepal]

When can GA get some of these places?

Let's open one together. In Atlanta proper they can be lawfully nekkid. I bet that'll put a bump in Starbucks' business. Plus we could charge whatever we want if the wimmin are pretty enough.

Cutters Point coffee houses (gig harbor/tacoma) do not have scantily clad girls, but they do make it a point to hire only very cute females. It has paid off.

[arderkrag]

If i just had the collatral, I would seriously put it down. I’m going through some rough financial spots, though.

[arderkrag]

I helped raise a girl for the past couple of years, as she blossomed from a teenage brat to a woman. I would absolutely condone her working somewhere like this.

[jonno]

Because?

[arderkrag]

Because what? I don’t understand what you’re asking for reasoning behind.
