"Thanks For the Coffee! And Nice Boobs, BTW"
Oh, Michigan state, how I'd love to live in you.In Detroit, two drive-thru cafes have "bikini baristas" who will serve your morning java wearing skimpy lingerie or swimsuits and a big smile.
The outfits are reportedly more sexy and flirty than outright sexual, so guys hoping to save a few bucks instead of going to a strip club will be disappointed. Still lots of skin and apparently high heels too.
Not surprisingly, the owners of the Hot Spot Coffee cafes reported that sales basically doubled overnight and they plan to open a third shop soon. The cafes also have specials like "Topless Tuesdays" and "Flasher Fridays." Again, not as amusing as it sounds-- topless means without a lid. Catchy though!
I do have a few questions, like how is the health department OK with this? But I'm in support of this. They are learning valuable coffee-making skills and they are making money-- both of which make sense to a poor, sleep deprived college student like me. Sure, they are making money out of wearing skimpy outfits and showing off their body, but it's not like they are giving out lap dances to people who buy the house coffee.
Also, I just want to know much the baristas are making in tips. My bet it is that it's enough to make me buy some more lingerie.
What do you think? Genius or tacky? Would you go to one of these cafes?

coffee and cleavage... sounds great to me.
I'd love to work there if I had the body. I agree that it's a harmless, great idea.
well really all they need in order to serve food is a hat to keep hair out, heels might be a little dangerous because of slipping, but really if you can cook naked (except for a hat and an apron), then it's not really unsanitary.
old news. but this would be an awesome job.
I posted something similar to this on Lovelyish....I think it's a great idea! I didn't know they had these in Detroit (I live in Michigan so I guess I'll have to check it out!)
What if you're chubby? Are you denied a job cause your bikini bod is not so hot?
It doesn't sound much different than Hooter's to me. It always bothered me that Hooter's waitresses aren't allowed to put up their hair though.
It's like Hooters, but for business men!
I agree that it sounds similar to Hooters. I don't care much for Hooters, but this doesn't sound too bad.
HEY GUYS THEY GIVE BLOW JOBS IN THE BACK!!!
I like the idea. We should have one all over the country. ;P I'd go.
Great business scheme.
@haloed@xanga - A lot of the times I've been to hooters, the waitress was chubby and I'd say average looking in the face. I'm sure it'd be the same.
I've worked at Starbucks before... I spilled hot milk and coffee on me quite a number of times. Do they even wear an apron? That would suck..
Genius
olddd newwwssss.
having been a barista for the past 3 years, you spill hot liquids on you A LOT. this sounds extremely dangerous. plus, you get enough creepers hitting on you when wearing normal attire, i don't even want to think about the sexual harassment they encounter. yikes!
The tip must be GLORIOUS
Nah...I wouldn't go even if I lived in Michigan..I live in Texas btw
if they made one with hot shirtless men, id be there for sure
Oh the things you'll do to earn a buck...
Wait a minute. I live in metro Detroit and I've never heard of these places. Where are they?
Oh I found it, there is a location right on my way to work. Crazy I've never seen it before. I'll have to drive though sometime and I don't even drink coffee anymore.
This sounds AWESOME, except spilled coffee sounds like a nightmare.
Just sayin'. :D
Great idea. I think as long as they shower before they come in to work and stay clean while working, it's not bad at all. I'd check it out if I was in Michigan.
@haloed@xanga - I would think so, only because it seems like the cafe would be looking for a specific type of body. It would also be determined by your definition of chubby, because there's nothing wrong with thick girls and most of them look amazing in bikinis, but for this establishment, it may not be what they're looking for.
@NinjaxBroadcast@xanga - well I doubt they'd want me with my chubby tummy. If it was nice and flat like it used to be, I might be a desirable addition. Sigh stationary, sedentary jobs.
