Mother takes action against scantily clad baristas
King TV News (Seattle) ^ | 5/20/08 | Mimi Jung

BONNEY LAKE, Wash. - Some baristas will soon be the target of a protest because of what they're wearing – or not wearing. It seems some people in Bonney Lake aren't too happy about the bikinis and skimpy outfits.

Sex sells and bikini-clad baristas have popped up all over Western Washington.

At Cowgirls Espresso in Bonney Lake business has never been better. The baristas wear bikinis, nothing different they say than what you see at the beach.

But one Bonney Lake mother says she was outraged when she saw a barista without a bikini at all.

"All of a sudden, my kids that were in the back of my car said: 'Mom, there is a naked lady!'" said Tawnya McLavey.

She said inside Hot Chick-a-Latte was a pasties-clad barista serving coffee. That's why she is organizing a protest in Bonney Lake this Memorial Day weekend – as a way to send a message.

McClavey even called Bonney Lake Police to complain, but they said there's nothing they can do because as long as the appropriate body parts are covered, it isn't considered indecent exposure.

I personally do not care what they wear but working around hot coffee and milk with all that skin exposed is dangerous.
But they can be closed down for health code violations based on the pictures.

They aren’t even walk-in coffee shops, you see more driving by a beach or pool.

First of all, momma is a prude and probably jealous. All you have to do is go to the pool or the beach and the young girls wear the same outfit. Second of all, the owner of the coffee shop probably has to pay extra to heat up that little drive through... And third of all, I live up in the northern part of Washington and I sure don’t see nothin’ like this!
