Men vs. Women/Out From Behind The Counter

There is a big difference between why women visit coffee shops and why men visit coffee shops.

For women a coffee shop is a place to get coffee before, during and after work.
It's a place to chat with the girls behind the counter and to get away from work for awhile.
It's a place to go with your girlfriends, to spend time together, have lunch, drink tea and chat.

For men a coffee shop is a place to get coffee before, during and after work.
It's a place to chat with the girls behind the counter and to get away from work for awhile.
It's a place to bring your buddies so they can get lunch and some coffee and chat with the girls behind the counter.

Women come to get coffee. Men come for a lot more reasons than just that.
Most shops are operated by girls.
Most shops have cute, artsy, smart alecky, intelligent girls working behind the counter.
What is more intriguing than someone you see everyday for only a few minutes at a time?
You get small doses of each other.
You get to know each other in a very deep but basic way.
You see these people before they have hadtheir caffine, and they see you before you have had yours. How intimate.

No wonder crushes between customer and coffee girl occur on a regular basis.
No wonder sexual trysts happen after a night of drinking together.
No wonder customers are so eager to drag the coffee girl out from behind the counter.
Once you have crossed that barrier there is no going back.

Although it can be exhilarating and wonderful, the customer/coffee girl relationship is wrought with dangers.
-It is awkward to serve someone you are dating and/or fucking.
-If things go sour, the coffee shop loses at least one customer.
-The coffee girls can get a reputation for themselves, this can bring in more people, or scare business away, that all depends on the location of the shop and the customer base.

The key is to keep the male customer guessing.
Are they flirting with me because they have to or because they want to?
Did they give me a free pastry today because I'm a good customer or because they want me?
Was she blushing or was the steam wand making her hot?
