If you're going to compete with Starbucks on their home ground you need a gimmick to stand out.

While I’m no fan of “strip joints” and such, the fact that we allow strip joints and Hooters, makes me wonder, how is a bikini barista place fundamentally different than other places which have females on display? Legally speaking I mean?

Library sessions with trannies & kids — ok

Skimpily-dressed baristas - not ok

“A group of Seattle-area baristas who argued in court that they should not be restricted from serving drinks in bikinis and other revealing clothing may have to cover up.

I agree. Forcing them to wear more clothes would be an abrogation of free speech and expression.

Anybody else think this thread is worthless without pics?

How can we do our research?

Tearing down Confederate statue - Free Speech

Wearing mask at violent riot - Free Speech

Halter top while serving coffee - NOT free speech

The obvious answer is political messages written on bare skin.

I would love to see the Supremes get a case where a comely woman has written “Joe Biden is a Boob” on herself.

Bikinis are sexist weapons of the patriarchy and should be banned, but naked, erect homos marching in a “pride” parade is enriching diverse culture and just fine.

Oh how I despise the left.

Does the business gets higher prices for a normal product for adding erotocism? Then the sell of lewdness is occurring with the other product. There is a call to REPENT and be saved.

Sounds like Starbucks going after competition.

We have a food joint around here where the waitress wear bikinis and chaps. I am sure some prudes around here would love to get rid of the place. Hope not, they have good food.
