Common Thought of Sir Rantsalot

Welcome to the 21st century, where sexual innuendos aren’t as blocked as they once were. 

Coffee. No matter how much you disagree, you hate the taste. Methods are used to make the bland, turpentine-ish, black, and bitter taste go away. Put cream in it, steamed milk, flavoring, among other things and call it a espressa-mocha-frappa-latt-whatever. In theory, coffee stands are like bars except instead of alcohol, they serve coffee. I only drink it because I have to be awake for my classes.

I live in the Seattle area. There are coffee stands EVERYWHERE. Hell, this place started the whole coffee shop idea. And it’s ridiculous to see a Starbuck’s right across the street from a Starbuck’s. It’s stupid just to see a stand within the vicinity of 5 feet from another. The message apparently is DRINK COFFEE OR DIE!!

Coffee stands have decided that putting 20-30 stands in one area simply isn’t cutting it. Female baristas came up with an ingenious idea of attract the average American horny guy; by wearing bikinis.

Reports have indicated that coffee sales have gone up and are attracting certain people to do what people wouldn’t normally do to baristas. There have been a couple of cases with flashers exposing themselves to the bikini clad baristas, and they usually end up with a boiling hot water bath.

Last summer, I encountered a bikini barista booth with a friend of mine, and as we were waiting our turn to get coffee (it was 7 in the morning mind you), a man appeared on the corner with a video camera aimed straight at the booth. He then rotated the camera on all of the people waiting. I got out my friend’s car and he started filming me. I threw some expletives his way, telling him to stop filming me. He then told me that he was making a documentary on how much of an outrage this is. The police got called on him, blah blah blah.

Point is, do I care that baristas are selling coffee with their cleavage? NO. It may be innappropriate to some, but if it is… don’t go to that coffee stand. Plain and simple. If they choose to wear a bikini, they have that luxury, tough luck if they accidentally spill a hot beverage on themselves.
