Coffee shops with all-female staff, or, the queer coffee shop harem

And they definitely do not want to be taken advantage of by male customers when they're drunk or high on drugs. Girls drink with the girls and and girls do drugs with the girls. The chemical high is not a common experience they share with boys, or if they do, apparently boys experience it in a different way.
