TUKWILA, Wash. -- Coffee-stand owner John Cambroto couldn't compete against the beautiful bikini-clad women selling espresso up the road.
"We had a much better atmosphere, good coffee. Unfortunately, they ran around half-naked and we didn't," said Cambroto, who finally threw in the towel last spring and sold his business to his rival, the operator of six Cowgirls Espresso stands in the Seattle suburbs.

I'd think you would have to pay waitresses more to walk around undressed, in that climate, so he'd have some profit margin to spare, vis-a-vis the competition.

I thought that the caffeine in espresso coffee is enough stimulation for most people.
"Fantasy Fridays," "School Girl Thursdays," "Cowgirl Tuesdays" and "Military Mondays" soon followed. The stand now rakes in about $800 a day, Bowden said. The girls make minimum wage, plus $80 to $150 a day in tips.
Bowden said the baristas at one Cowgirls stand stopped signing the paper coffee cups "XOXO" after the wife of one customer complained, but that's been about it.
LOL. No mention of the taste/quality of the coffee.
Glad to be of service!
I don't think that very many of their customers care about such petty concerns...
They could get some pretty nasty burns from the hot coffee. Imagine the workers comp claims.
They must have bused those women from Canada because Seattle women ain't that hot. LOL!
I'll take TWO lattes.
I’m sure the pretentious self-righteous feminists that frequent these overpriced coffee houses are already working on a way to get this shut down.
“...I’ll take TWO lattes....”
I’ll take those TWO ladies. ;-)
