Baristas in bras

It used to be that to get dolled up and barely dressed women to serve you, you had to spring for hot wings or a burger. Now all you have to do is buy an overpriced cup of coffee.
Cowgirls Espresso, whose tagline oh-so-subtly reads “udderly the best,� is a coffee stand based in the Seattle area where the baristas sport bras and little else.
Unlike Hooters or Heart Attack Grill—who at least try to pretend that their barely-dressed employees are wearing “uniforms�—the Cowgirls’ attire is basically, well, undies. (With the occasional schoolgirl outfit thrown in for good measure.)
And there’s no question as to what the expresso stand is actually selling (hint: it ain’t coffee):

At places such as Cowgirls, the barista is the brand.
“If I’m going to pay $4 for a cup of coffee” said one male customer, “I’m not going to get served by a guy.”

Oh, and the Cowgirls get paid minimum wage. Nice. And don’t even tell me that they make good tips. It’s coffee. Not that this is indicative of all gals who work at places like this–but I had two roommates in college that worked at the local Hooters and said they made shit tips. Just saying.
