Board 8 > Man, Bikini Barista's are our countires best resource

(+) Yeah! (+)

You get your coffee, a naked lady mildly flirts with you, and you're on your way! It's just a nice wholesome experience.

Like my whole day is a little brighter both due to the caffeine and the fact a naked lady was interested in what I had to say for 3 minutes.

Are these nation wide or are they still Washington exclusive?

---

Naked? At that point can it still be considered a "bikini" barista?

---

I mean they're usually wearing like fishnet over the boob but with a fancy bikini-type outfit

or sometimes it looks like just the bra and panties that they rolled out of bed with

There's a nudity spectrum and these people are usually all over it

---

man I totally whiffed it with possessives in the topic title.

not proud of my work here

---

countires

---

oh shit it is even worse than I thought.

Damn my objectifying women topic was going to go so well!

---

When I lived in Kent they were all over the place, but I never actually went to one

---

i think the worst part is the apostrophe

this is the first I've ever heard of this

---

do you see nipple

---

Yeah, I don't know what the actual rules are but the ones in the big cities almost always show nip or more, and in my little town they never do.

the one I went to today had nip!

---

this is a northwestern thing last time i checked- has it been catching on in other places?

---

How are there no pictures

theres never a time in human history when it's been ok to snap a photo of your barista

---

There was a boba place that did this in Vegas but it closed down a few years ago.

I'm not that into the idea of commingling food/drink prep with nudity; it just feels unsanitary and makes both aspects worse. I've also never liked sex play with the "classic" foods like whip cream, probably for the same reason.

What's the cost premium on a place like this, anyway? Doubt it's the same price as a Starbucks, unless big tips are expected.

pretty much starbucks price plus tips

plus I dont think it's that sexual! its just like, a chill place to see a hint of titty

---

They have one down the road from me here in Phoenix. Never been, so I don't know how much skin they show.

---

ah yes, non-sexual bikini/topless places

This is the funniest part of the post

---

yes it just happens to be a place where the baristas are topless, other than that, no difference whatsoever, certainly not the main reason someone would go there

---

Yep nothing sexual about near naked women who flirt with you.

This kind of bullshit is the same as people thinking they should ask their waitress out.

She's in a service profession. She cares about earning your tips.

She does not care about what you have to say.

---

i love when people think the server actually gives a rats ass about what garbage they are spewing

---

yeah isn't it such bullshit when you go to get.an Americano and the barista has a fucking sports bra on like hello I said no room for cream and sugar not no titties

I never said it wasn't sexual, just not THAT sexual.

I mean the reason most people go to coffee places is to flirt on the barista anyway, this is like 10% more explicit

---

the main reason most people go to coffee places is for coffee you virgin

it's the exact opposite of that.

I give her tips to act like she cares then leave. It's a strictly professional relationship.

---

I dunno, judging by the topic title it seems like none of that coffee actually made it into you!

---

Never been to one despite living in PNW. Honestly have nothing against them, just no need to pay extra for that kind of interaction.

Also, a bunch of them have gotten in trouble for actual prostitution. Which is dumb because sex work should be decriminalized, but now I'm off topic.

am I the weirdo? I go for coffee, or to have somewhere to be for an amount of time with wifi

Man, Maria was right. You view on what's 'normal' is so distorted.

I'm pretty sure the majority of people buy coffee to get through their work/study day.

---

Well, it might very well be true in those places.

There is no such thing in my country that I know of, but it sounds like a place I would shamefully go to in my teenage years except for the fact that I was usually broke then.

well, yeah

but not for this reason! I'm using "most" as hyperbolic tool to over emphasize the amount of people who go into retail places, coffee specifically and especially, just for the human attention.

I also am using "flirt" as a pretty lose term. Like talking about whats going on and shooting the breeze about the weather with a little flair for the over-friendly.

---

I don't go anywhere to make small talk with strangers

Small talk with strangers is the worst

---

Oh yeah I forget sometimes this board is like 90% introverts

---

Well, this topic is a wild ride.

---

I'd ask my ambivert wife but she doesn't like coffee

---

After that Smash Bros MeToo thread and this you sure seem to like assuming "most" people do the same things as you whenever it's something creepy

---

Man most the people I know who go to coffee places try to do as little socializing as possible. It's no different then going to a fast food restaurant.

Honestly, it's nice to talk to people briefly while they're on shift without interfering with their job. Having worked in food service, I'd rather have someone be friendly, polite, and acknowledge my existence than just grunt, get their food, and leave. Plenty of people enjoy making small talk, plus you're paying for a service anyway, no matter what the employees are wearing - it's automatically more talking and more expensive than making coffee for yourself at home.

---

I'd go to a brewery if I wanna make small talk with the employees/patrons

Coffee I just want coffee

Hey now, I've gotten a waitress's number before.

---

Oh yeah me too

and then I was married to her for a number of years.

so she probably cared about what I had to say at least a little
