coffee shops like this?  To hell with Dunkin' Doughnuts I want a Grab-N-Go  

Five bikini-clad baristas in Everett, Wash., face prostitution charges after police said that they served up more than just hot coffee at an espresso stand, Q13FOX.com reported.

The five women, employed by Everett's 'Grab-N-Go' espresso stand, have been charged with prostitution and violating the city's Adult Entertainment ordinance, Sergeant Robert Goetz told Q13 FOX News.

Police reportedly conducted a two month investigation into the bikini-clad baristas' behavior after multiple customers complained. During the probe, police found inappropriate and lewd behavior, Q13FOX.com reported.

"For extra money these women would expose their entire body. If they were wearing a bikini they would either take it off or at least lower it. There were some allegations... Complaints from our citizens that they were performing whip cream shows between two women," Everett Police Sergeant Robert Goetz told Q13 FOX News.

Adult Entertainment sure, no where do I see in the article where they actually cross the line into prostitution.

Complaints from our citizens that they were performing whip cream shows between two women,"

Hey, citizens: have you considered  not attending a restaurant where distasteful shows are being held?

I know.  That's infringing on my right to peaceful enjoyment of my morning coffee.

Just imagine the menu possibilities though.

"I'll take a whipped cafe' mocha latte"...."Oh my"

I guess the cops in that town ran out of criminals.

I just have to wonder why we have law enforcement that has the time and capability to conduct a two-month investigation into this. And why it's law enforcement anyway, instead of some regulatory body, doing it.

 I mean it doesn't bother me in principle that the restaurant has some ramifications for the behavior, it bothers me that the ramifications are LEGAL ones and enforcement comes from the POLICE. It should be something like

"the Organization for Restaurants without Titties (ORWOT) conducted a 2-month investigation into the behavior. The restaurant is now facing fines and the revocation of its ORWOT certification."

I mean, will the Police be investigating the quality of food at restaurants? The atmosphere? The service and quality of the music?

It was probably a volunteer effort.

Are we really asking why the police are investigating this? I think it's pretty obvious.


If adult entertainment businesses have different regulations and this company was not following these regulations, then they should be fined or whatever. I agree that the police should not be investigating this, but I think it's readily apparent why they are. It's for the same reason that every gritty police drama always involves meetings at strip clubs.

[RaspberrySurprise]

Because police like boobies?

An Organization for Restaurants Without Titties? Will the moral decline know no end?

[jackdanson]

I'm going to start ORWT.
