Are You Up For A Latte

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Northwest Realtors, Inc. 425-308-3669

As you know Seattle is the coffee capital with Starbucks on almost every corner and latte stands popping up in between.

Well, a S. Seattle coffee-stand owner couldn't compete so he decided on a "new twist" in the barista business to improve his sales.  The "Cowgirls Espresso" baristas are wear scantily clad clothing, i.e., bikini tops, short short bottoms, etc. (You get the picture). They even have "Bikini Wednesdays", "School Girl Thrusdays" and "Military Mondays".

The owner is reporting a 200% increase in business. What next?

You know the old saying "Sex Sells".  Although disgusting, in my opinion, it seems to be working for this business owner.  Hooters has made a fortune with this type of service.

I guess it was just a matter of time, unfortunately.

We had a new "Barber Shop" open in town called Woody'z Hot Cuts.  The name speaks for itself.

Kay - I've seen some agents who must be very confused when it comes to looking "profesional" or looking "like a professional", if you know what I mean.  I must wonder if that works for them or against them?
