Just a reminder, Moonlight Espresso is the same place he 1 starred and deleted back in May. He had a different "favorite" barista then and was upset he felt she got less flirty over time AND he advocated for the girls because they told him they are independent contractors paid 50c to $1 per each cup sold on beverages that start at around $9.
Every Barista there is an OF girl/Instathot/TikTok-thot of some stripe. I'm digging how many of them have two profiles on each social media a public and a private (always under stage names for both) giving the parasocial illusion that if you have the private you are special. I have a feeling that despite how experienced he is with SWers he doesn't fully comprehend that they are all using stage names like Nani/Lala ect, I'd imagine to him brown/ethnic + young means obviously fake name is real lol
It's an interesting business model of non-sex SW, ladies have figured out they can make a fortune with zero sex or porn though parasocialism. Often more than traditional SW and/or porn (see Belle Delphine and Pokimane).
Learned from a current review the suggested tip on their card reader starts at 50% and goes up, I have no idea if No Tip or Custom is an option or how hidden of an option those may be. I pass by this location a few times a week on foot and have noticed refinements to their systems since they opened. They had to make it clearer and clearer that they are DRIVE-THRU only and no restrooms and customers cannot/don't come inside. The street facing windows were always blacked out from human height down, originally the locked front doors were not blacked out but now they are. You now can easily only see inside from the drive-up window when it is opened. I imagine they have various ways of seeing out at all times. Last time I passed by I saw what I thought was a homeless man or disheveled gooner standing right next to the window (look similar to the Alex guy tagged, in a tank and camo cargo shorts), moments later he opened a door next to the window with a key and went inside (I'd guess this goes into a supply area that'd preserve the illusion of the girl or pair being in the open floor plan shop alone). The girls park near and enter through and lock the front doors for their a day in the life TikToks. I would venture a guess there is a hidden male worker just in case much of the time not to mention lots of cameras.
This type of setup gives all sorts of outs and ways to deliver as short or long of a customer interaction as you'd like. I think all Russ got this time was his drink delivered, a quick thumbs up and photo and rushed off. A recent review shows what a customer could get (flirt and a show and it seems she was okay with a camera/meta glasses) for a good tip and understanding the situation. I'm fighting mobile and TOR so some other autist please grab and archive the Google review with the European-ish barista showing off her ass, waving, and blowing kisses. I intended to do this but fuck technology. I picture the girls get phone calls, someone pops out, a co-worker needs help and any other excuse on demand to close the window and move Russ along, it's genius.
