So, those of you who do not live in the Pacific Northwest, does the phrase "bikini espresso" call to mind several local establishments, some, or none? Does the phrase "bikini espresso" even signify anything to you, or is it on par with "surfboard sandwich" or "wetsuit salad"?

Okay, other shoe: In these parts the landscape is fairly littered with drive-thru espresso shacks whose primary gimmick (to distinguish themselves from all the other drive-thru espresso shacks) seems to be baristas clad in bikinis. These are not in any way related to each other, except by having decided to go for the same gimmick. In fact, they're enough of a thing that for a while (perhaps still) there was a problem with one or more patrons exposing themselves to the staff. (This seems readily fixable with web cams and phone cameras, but that's a training matter, and might force the shack owners to pony up hazard pay...)

Does your neighborhood have any espresso shacks with bikini-clad baristas?
