Sexpresso continues to flourish, and draws a local protest
The sexpresso craze I first blogged about here, and then again here, continues to grow and flourish here in the Pacific Northwest, the home of Starbucks, the unofficial caffeine capital of the US.
The concept is really a no brainer. Dress the baristas up in sexy clothes and see if they draw business.
Duh. Of course they will. You don't really think Hooters is still around for the food do you? Seriously?
The latest craze started when a Bonney Lake mom, kids in the car with her, went through a Hot Chick-a-Latte stand, and the barista was wearing pasties.
OK, that might be pushing it a bit, but then again some bikinis don't cover much more.
She has decided to organize a protest. All well and good, though voting with her wallet is usually the most effective. I do have to laugh at her stated intention of starting a clothing drive…Ma'am, I don't think lack of clothing is the problem here…
