Starbucks, your days are numbered...........

[TruthWillWin]

Reminds me of a heartburn joke from years ago.

[andy58-in-nh]

I like my coffee the way I like my women.

[norcal joe]

Would you like regular or low-fat milk in that???

[wbill]

Geez, that'd be a cold job to work at.

If any FReepers from Maine have seen women from "The County" (that's Aroostook County, the northernmost points in Maine)...they might not be as in favor of this idea. Ask for pictures at your own risk.

The old joke goes "What's the difference between moose, and women from Aroostook? Moose don't wear flannel."

[bmwcyle]

Rules!!!

[PurpleMan]

Won’t that let in a lot of snow?

"Some say Vassalboro is a rural town and that a topless coffee shop would bring the wrong crowd. But others say they'd like to see a business make a go of it there."

'A' business. Not necessarily this sleazy one.

[svcw]

I love coffee but I am not taking off my top to get a cup.

[weegee]

"But what am I going to do with all of those topless muffins?"

[WellyP]

R-Donuts returns! In the early 80’s R-Donuts was operating in Ft. Lauderdale. The had a locals special at lunch. $5.00 for a BIG shrimp sandwich, coffee and a donut. The place was ALWAYS packed, the service great and thanks to very smart management, there was nothing in the least “trashy” allowed! Many eyeballs were left on the plates. Those were the days!

[andy58-in-nh]

These places really do exist...

[weegee]

Some say Vassalboro is a rural town and that a topless coffee shop would bring the wrong crowd.

People are going to come from miles around to a rural town?

Or the perverts that already live there will be a bit more public?

[Diogenesis]

In addition to Rules, this is Yesterday's News.
The Board already approved the Coffee Shop
suggesting someone keep abreast of the situation better.

"VASSALBORO -- The town planning board Tuesday night approved an application
from an Ellsworth businessman to open a coffee shop featuring topless waitresses.
Between 50 and 60 Vassalboro residents showed up, most of them voicing disapproval,
and four television camera crews lined up along the walls."

[DustyMoment]

I dunno, putting up a coffee shop in Maine that has no roof doesn’t sound like a good business decision.

I hear they have pretty cold winters.

Should be nice during the summers, though.

[ArrogantBustard]

Would you like some cream in your coffee?

[OnTheDress]

Love those topless babes!

[Peter Horry]

Topless, with hot coffee ... man, they’re just asking for trouble.

"How can they have a topless coffee shop in Maine? Won't it fill up with snow and rain? How would they heat it? This makes no sense, it's ..."

"Emily"

"... just a crazy ... yes?"

"Emily, topless as in the waitresses will wear no tops."

"Oh, that's different. Nevermind.   Oh, But Chevy, it is Maine and someone could poke an eye out." /Latella

Marketing...for every age group. Teen consumption will go up unless ID and age restrictions are required.

Hey, these girls need college money!!

[Savage Beast]

Why just topless? Why not bottomless too? Are these people a bunch of prudes or something?

There are already truck stops scattered throughout the U.S. in which women dance around buck naked. You can get coffee. You can get a whole meal. You can even get a lap dance. (Frankly, if they're offering all this--why beat around the bush, so to speak? Why not just offer prostitution, I wonder?) (I don't condone this, mind you. It's merely another example of decadence and moral decay in America. Note tagline.)

Somebody ought to open up one of these on busy Route 3, if such is in demand there, and show the Planning Board what a bunch of unimaginative prudes they really are.

I've never admired the step-by-step approach. If you're going to sink into moral decay, why not sink all the way to the bottom right off the bat?

[Obamageddon]

That should PERK up the customers in the morning.

[tob2]

Isn’t it too cold in Maine for a topless coffee shop?
