Passing by this drive-through coffee stand in Mountlake Terrace, my uncaffeinated mind couldn’t imagine what its new sign might mean. “Family Friendly”? Were they handing out crayons with the cappucinos? Mini punch cards for hot cocoa?
Turns out it was meant to repel all the aggrieved men who were pulling in after seeing the stand’s name — Luscious Latte — expecting bikinis or lingerie on their baristas. (The unhappy customers hadn’t referenced the Seattle Bikini Barista site first, apparently.) My barista was wearing a sweatshirt, looked very comfortable, and made a drink that was entirely decent.

If you look at Craigslist, half of the ads for baristas are for “bikini” baristas. Must be willing to humiliate yourself by wearing a bikini in NW weather and allow mend to leer at you all day.
Is there really that big a demand for undressed barista stands, or are all those ads because of the turnover rate?
whoopsie, that’s Men, not mend.
lol - luscious lattes! well, I guess if I saw that sign I would have guessed bikini bar!
I WORK THERE! WE ARE REALLY NICE…COFFEES GOOD TOO. THAT WAS PROBABLY ME IN THE SWEAT SHIRT..HEHE
