I'm far too cheap to "buy" my coffee....I just brew one cup worth in my tiny coffee machine at home....works out to around 10 cents a cup including the coffee (good german roasted stuff)....a natural unbleached filter....and the electricity.
 I can drink coffee for months for what a single Starbucks serving costs!

"Me love you long time, GI"
A Sheriffs deputy that I used to work with in Court in San Francisco, told me one time, "I can't believe I use to get paid to kill those people"  Actually, I'd buy their "cafe sua da" (the iced coffee drink they make in VN and Cambodia with sweet condensed milk that is perked into a tall glass) anytime or anyplace I can get it. The influence from the French colonial days is still in their cuisine and it's terrific.

Meh - if I ever get to the point that disproportionate bolt-ons influence my buying decisions, shoot me - please
.Now, if those young ladies still had the delightful shapes that their eyebrows and, uhm, er - "bumpers" rolled off the production line with, well, I just might be swayed into making a habit of checking out their coffee.....

Nothing new. Seatle has had coffee shops staffed by hot women in bikinis for a while now. A few months ago we even got one in Carson City. I haven't been there. I can brew my own coffee at home and download porn way cheaper.

I read that a small town near Seattle was trying to pass an ordinance to stop baristas from wearing thongs and other see through attire. I don’t know if that means they’ll be wearing less... I guess the town prunes are outraged at the indecent display because their husbands have all become coffee addicts.

Oh boy. Combining the allure of semi-desparate women smiling wanly with a sort of tired patience that one finds in strip clubs with the high prices of Starbucks, higher actually, what's not to like?
