I think they spelled 'Barista' wrong...

Skinny lattes come with a side of curves - and some really horendous tattoos -  at this new coffee shop. Tanlines Coffee, a Los Angeles bikini barista coffee shop in the industrial hub of Commerce, has drawn quite the buzz thanks to its scantily clad staff.

But employees are spilling the tea on the worst kind of clientele you might expect to find at a bikini coffee shop. While the vast majority of people are just looking for a caffeine fix and friendly chat, the job does require thick skin.

 

“For every hundred cool people, we get like one weirdo,” one barista shared in a TikTok interview posted by @mystery_house, breaking down the reality of working when wearing next to nothing. The baristas revealed that the “weirdos” are usually easy to spot, especially the ones trying to sneakily film them using smart tech.

“You can always tell when it is Meta glasses,” one employee explained. “Because when you ask them, ‘Hey, could you take off your glasses?’ they’re like, ‘Why? There’s nothing wrong with them.'” Staff noted that these customers are usually trying to stealthily “record every angle” of the baristas.
