Having spent several months of my lost youth behind the counter at a ubiquitous coffee chain, I always like to keep abreast of developments in the world of barista-ing. Or in this case, a-breast.
The
controversial strategy of one espresso-pusher to draw in the
caffiendicts with bikini-clad young ladies makes me feel a little
unsettled. It's not because they'll be making a load in tips (fair enough, I say, you might as well exploit your customers' low inclinations) but because the potential for seriously awkward cleavage
burns is extensive if you don't know how to handle that steam nozzle
just right.
Potential customers in the state of Washington are unsettled for reasons different from mine, complaining in that special Puritanical American way that I love so much:
"I'm not against people making money," said Kimberly Gainza, 37, of Everett. "What I'm against is how they're going about doing it. It's not right -- on a road where everybody can see."
Ah, bless. Fortunately for Puritanical English types, health and safety statutes mean this will likely never be legal in England.
