So, today I called my mom to see if she wanted to run with me on another one of my never-ending Craigslist pursuits. I was going to pick up a cat-tree out in Graham. Yay! The lady was kind enough to hold it for me since she posted the ad just a little while before I went to work yesterday.
Mom was happy to go with me and we decided to get coffee along the way. I knew there would be plenty of coffee drive-thru places on Meridian Ave. We headed out and stopped at the first coffee place we saw. The HOT pink color maybe should have been a tip-off. I really didn't read the name of the place because ALL I wanted was a cup of coffee.
We pulled up and no one was in sight, but the sign said open. Suddenly, the girl appeared, opened the window and said, "May I help you?"
The only thing that I could think to say was "Maybe put on some clothes?"
I was shocked. I'm not really that big of a prude. I didn't think so, anyway. I'm not really fond of dirty jokes. I seldom, if ever, cuss. I don't prefer to look at pictures of half-dressed girls. OK, so maybe I am a prude, but honestly...this girl was about to try and serve me coffee in her UNDERWEAR! Not a bikini. Not a scanty outfit. Her underwear! She was wearing a pair of turquoise panties, a tank style undershirt that was very short and nothing else.
I had my money out. I was trying to think of what to order and honestly, it was making me sick to my stomach to think of her standing there in public, about to serve me coffee, in her underwear.
I did the only thing I could think of to do. I DROVE AWAY!
Now, my mom is known for telling dirty jokes and cussing like a sailor, minus the *F* word, and even she was shocked to see this girl in her underwear.
We drove down the street for a few blocks and found a coffee place near Safeway. It was a wonderful place with a nice young man, fully clothed. He apologized for the long wait we experienced, made a great mocha with excellent coffee, and I made sure to tip him in sheer appreciation of normalcy.
Ahhh yes...the world today.
When I got home I told my son about my experience and he said, "Yeah, mom. The name of the place is "Hot Chicks-a-Latte" or something like that. He knew all about it. This disturbs me on some level. I had no idea. I just bumbled in to the place because it was the first one that appeared on our way.
I just think it's wrong to sell coffee in your underwear. I'm not that comfortable with bikinis in a coffee shop. They are serving something to drink and at times something to eat and I just think clothing makes sense in this type of business if for no other reason than common sense and sanitation.

On some strange level I find this post hilarious! Hahaha! I would have loved to seen the look on your face. I would have loved to been in the car when you drove away from there. I would have loved to have seen the expression on the girls face. BTW...I would have done the same thing.
Oh, yes. I can see why you would find it hilarious. haha.
I would have loved to have seen the look on my face, also. She got all embarrassed by the fact that I was shocked and tried to cover herself with her arms. My mom and I being there made her very uncomfortable. She was probably just as glad to have us leave as we were to leave.
