Prosticoffee

I don't know if this phenomenon is unique to the northwest or what, but it's seriously getting on my nerves.

We have stripper coffee shacks. Slutty java huts? Whatever you call them, we have them. It's gotten so prevalent that places which don't take off their clothes feel required to post signs so people are aware of it. Really? There are that many people who like staring at cleavage and ripped fishnets first thing in the morning?

Patrick accidentally wound up at one once. He'd been trying to find the normal one a block down and forgot where it was. They have really deceptive names sometimes. The latest one we saw this morning driving down Aurora was Gourmet Latte, which sounded fine on the outside but then had some girl in a hot pink bikini leaning out of it. At 8:15AM! Usually the stripper ones have names like Chicka Latte or Divacup or something, but every once in a while you'll get blindsided. He made eye contact the entire time and felt mortified by the whole thing.

That's my good Idaho husband! I do love me an old-fashioned country boy.

A few of them have been busted for actual prostitution or flashing or whatever the charge is for that. Public indecency for cash? I don't know. But I avoid them like they've got plague (and they probably do, or at least syphilis).

It's always too early for this kind of thing.

Or they might have staph on their crotch like some known prostitutes that I used to know... Sick. I never want naked with my coffee.

Interesting... I've never heard of anything like this. I think that if I'm ever in the northwest I'll have to go to one! XD ;) It's a good thing that Patrick only has eyes for you, darling... These stripper bitches can be pretty manipulative if they want! Have a lovely day, darling! <3 <3 <3 *

Seems like a bad idea all around - it's awfully early in the morning for that kind of thing, and aren't they worried about scalding bits that shouldn't be scalded?

I once saw a billboard advertising a stripper car wash on the east side of the country. Apparently you can make anything better with strippers. I always thought it was bacon...

I tried bacon salt once. That did NOT make everything better. Smoked salt, on the other hand... or truffle oil. Yum!

I don't even have any words. Why do these exist?

I accidentally ended up at one too--it didn't use to be a bikini barista shack and then turned into one. Talk about feeling perverted!! Hard to believe the family folks at Summit Trading would permit it in their parking lot.

On the other hand, in Amsterdam one has an entirely different problem. Most of the coffee shops there have coffee as only a sideline. Herbal offerings are the main course. I've learned to look for the ones that say somewhere on their marquees "coffee only". They are few and far between.
