Espresso Stand Features Bikinis

A Spokane espresso stand has uncovered a new way to market its lattes and mochas by hiring bikini-clad baristas to serve its customers. While it may not exactly be bikini weather that's not stopping the women working behind the counter at Busty's Top Espresso on East Sprague from serving up coffee in bikini tops and shorts. The espresso stand has been around for over a year and is run by the same owner of the Bel-Air motel which is connected to the espresso drive thru. This week that espresso stand reopened as Busty's Top Espresso, with signs & balloons advertising their bikini clad women and beverages/KXLY. More here.

Question: Would you be more likely or less likely to stop at an espresso stand if bikini-clad baristas worked there?
