I saw this job ad today:
PT BARRISTERS Require 2 PT coffee barristers for new European Espresso Cafe…
Is the economy really that bad? It would be kind of cool, though–get legal advice with your espresso!
I wonder how many customers would have grounds for a legal action?
Would the horsehair wig pass the necessary food/beverage cleanliness standards?
I’ll be a barrister! I can waggle me wig and bang me gavel with the best of 'em!
It’ll be a English Jurisprudence themed coffee shop. The barristas are barristers, complete with wigs; the guy working the counter gets the full judge’s wig/robes. Drinks named after the old common-law writs, they bang the gavel to let you know that your drink is up…
But can you pull a perfect shot of espresso?
That might be a little bit of a problem. Maybe a horsehair wig in a ponytail with a baseball cap over it?
Legal Grounds. I like that. But it’s probably already been done. Yep.
At your service. But remember Barristers can’t link to the public directly. You will have to go to a solicitor, who will instruct the Barrister to make your coffee.
But the strangely in keeping with the profession, we are called to the bar by the Inns of Court any way.
