Again, a little advice to you is in order: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt, right2bright.

You have probably moved on.
Notice how unreasonably upset that women was? She “claimed” to have seen someone wearing pasties. No one else had stated that. So her word? Ok, you believe her, I believe what I saw. I say that she had to pull out the “pasty” card, because she knew bikini was not enough to rile you folks up.
Looks like you will believe anything told to you if it fits into your beliefs. I prefer proof, not some outraged, overweight woman upset at someone serving coffee in a bikini. Looks like she doesn’t participate in any high school car washes.
So here is some advice to you (I don’t have any over used quotes for you), have some proof before making an accusation.
This was a news report to rile people up…get a life.

It always cracks me up when the most obvious answer, not buying her coffee there, is the last one she wants to use.

I can’t believe she didn’t know what kind of places these are beforehand…they’ve been open for a long time, have names that advertise the attraction, and have become well-known way outside the state (I live in Michigan and I’ve heard of them before). This reeks of intentional setup and calls for a healthy dose of STFU for ‘mom.’

Sexpresso continues to flourish, and draws a local protest…

The sexpresso craze I first blogged about here, and then again here, continues to grow and flourish here in the Pacific Northwest, the home of Starbucks, the unofficial caffeine capital of the US.

The concept is really a no brainer. Dre…

My favorite part comes at the 1:10 mark, where a mother calls Hot Chick-a-Latte “terrifying” for having its server in nothing more than panties and pasties.

Is it just me, or did her voice break as she said that, like she was about to cry?! Homegirl needs to take it down a notch.

Same thing’s happening over here with ‘Kitten’ car wash at the moment. Local council is finding every legal loophole to shut it down since they can’t shut it down soley for having girls in bikinis wash your car..

“Terrifying”? Of course it is inappropriate, but enough with the OVER ridiculous super double shot of reaction over reaction!

Come on, lady. Grow up!

In the words of President Bush, “bring it on,” pasties baristas!

Starbucks got NOTHIN on y’all!

Without a doubt the “Breasts not Bombs” women/man on hormones is much worse.

Mainly because their breasts are not appealing to look at.

Ok, riddle me this, which is worse, these normal young girls working in their bathing suits/pasties, OR, the “Breasts not Bombs” women/man on hormones who go out in public holding political signs???!!

at places like MS-NBC would admit that they run these strictly for the titillation

Why buy the latte when you can get cheap thrills instead?

Have you seen the price of a latte? There’s nothing cheap about any of this…

I live in Seattle; I have seen these stands, as has my wife. Some of the girls definitely wear pasties. The construction workers and the Mexicans line up to ogle the young (some under 18) girls all morning. What a standard to set for yourself – to sell bad coffee naked while getting eyed by strange men.

Of course, most of you, from the comments I’ve seen so far, seem to be OK with this, so I guess the rest of us should quit whining.

As for the “no different than at the beach” argument, when did beachwear become the accepted standard for women’s clothing?

I guess I can enjoy a cup of coffee without needing to gawk at a young girl in underwear. Must be something wrong with me.

I was lead to believe there were pasties in this thread…where are the pasties?

Ugh, I just keep seeing them getting splashed with boiling milk (which hurts much worse than boiling water because it sticks) and cringing.

Look again (I am sure you have) those aren’t pasties, that is a bathing suit.
right2bright on May 20, 2008 at 7:41 PM

Wow. You aren’t very bright.

The woman in the bathing suit is not the one that the mom is talking about. The other person wearing the pasties wasn’t interviewed. They did get some chicks in bikinis selling coffee to come on camera.

Again, a little advice to you is in order: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt, right2bright.
