Bikini Barista Girls

A phenomenon similar to bikini baristas is very popular in Chile, known as "café con piernas" (literally, coffee with legs) and existed long before their Seattle counterpart.
In Taiwan, young women who sell betel nuts and cigarettes from brightly lit glass enclosures while wearing revealing clothing are called Betel nut beauties. They debuted in the 1960s.
In Japan, "no-pan kissa" (no-panty coffee shop) blossomed in the 80's, where the waitresses have short skirts and no panties. Typical of Japanese sex-fads, they didn't last more than a few years before they morphed into other (but similar) businesses.
In Surfers Paradise, Queensland, gold lamé bikini-clad meter maids stroll up and down the beach feeding coins into parking meters so that beach-goers won't get parking tickets. Though feeding meters is illegal in Surfers Paradise, local law enforcement is encouraged to look the other way, as the Meter Maids not only keep tourists happy, but they have also become a tourist attraction themselves.
