    Had a middle-aged coworker that I carpooled with occasionally when I was younger. Totally chill for the most part, we left early in the morning and generally just listened to the radio quietly.

    He offered to get me coffee while we were on the road one day. Pulled into a bikini barista drive-thru. The gal working asked if I was his daughter.

    I didn’t carpool with him after that lol

        They used to be common around here in the Seattle area. Most of them were brothels with an occasional real girl in a bikini serving you out of a coffee shack in a parking lot. Is this not common?

          I’ve never seen anything even remotely like it aside from maybe hooters if you count that. I’m not necessarily against it but it definitely seems like a weird aspect to add to your 6 AM coffee order.

          They’re still very common over on the east side of the state, but they lose the pretense of “bikini” and go straight to “lingerie.” I think twice a week they even exchange a standard lingerie top for pasties.

            As open as i am with sexuality and how this sounds awesome on paper, I don’t even think I could bring myself to stopping by one of these just out of anxiety. It’s just not the mindset i want to be in when getting something as simple as a coffee lol.

            Wow, the west coast is wild. I’ve never seen anything remotely like that

              Portland, Oregon has more strip clubs per capita than any city is the US. It is currently around 1 for every 11,800 residents. https://priceonomics.com/why-does-portland-have-so-many-strip-clubs/

            I think the pretense of bikini was left by the wayside almost immediately when these types of coffee stands came around haha

          They’re still pretty common in the Seattle metro area. My parents are within a stone’s throw of two of them.
