Victoria Secrets Fashion show with your morning coffee at the drive thru. #coffee

Is the drive thru at your local coffee shop turning into a fashion show for Victoria Secrets? In some parts of the country the quick answer would be a resounding yes.

A hand full of drive thru coffee shops are staffing their drive thru windows with what could be described as aspiring Hooters servers.

Some local politicians are at a loss. The Business owners have researched the law well and are right up to the line on just what they can do. If hooters can do it so can we is the most often heard reply to any and all criticism or threats of regulation.

How long will it be before a loose lid causes a tragic accident that will make the recent coffee spill in a police officers lap in North Carolina look like a walk in the park.

Weather /climate change and your coffee

Weather unpredictability/climate change is a leading factor in future coffee prices. Making the small coffee grower looking to expand their land used to cultivate coffee. Felling of rain forests will accelerate current trends in a changing climate. adding even more unpredictability to coffee supplies and future prices. With the current world price at 90 cents a pound is making profitability in many countries nearly impossible With production cost at about $1.50 per pound. The shortest answer is to grow more coffee witch takes more land, ,fewer trees, more c02, additional climate effects . Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.
