Bikini-clad baristas divide Washington town
Daily Caller ^ | 1/3/14 | Breanna Deutsch

Posted on 01/03/2014 7:56:09 AM PST by smokingfrog

A quaint tourist town in Washington State has become divided over a coffee stand run by scantily clad bikini-wearing baristas.

At the center of the dispute is Meghan Calavan, owner of the Sips Ahoy coffee stand, and a female resident of Anacortes who accused Calavan of making offensive comments about her weight.

The argument between the two women has caught the attention of local authorities, has compelled members of the community to engage in fist fights and has threatened the survival of the popular sailor-themed bikini barista stand.

The feud first began on Facebook when Jesseka Kathleen Cladek posted on the Sips Ahoy page that the business was a “run down whore house.”

Meghan Calavan’s father, Kelly defended his daughter’s honor and came to the coffee stand’s defense.

He wrote that Cladek was “a huge fat b—- that no one would want to see in a bikini.”

The elder Calavan added, “She is just jealous of you beautiful fine lady’s!!.She looks like a fat pugsly Addams!!! [sic].”

Meghan Calavan also joined the argument on the company’s page. She posted that Cladek was “just jealous cause she’s fat and ugly and always will be. She’s gross lol look at her pictures. Her arms are the size of my thigh lollololol”

No such thing as bad publicity - Phineas T. Barnum.

This is especially true regarding notroiety, eg Mae West, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, etc.

I don’t think so.

Also the target market for higher priced specialty coffee drinks with extra ingredients = fattening = overweight women that can afford them.

Men buy beer, women buy coffee.

Don’t like it, don’t go there...free market is a wonderful thing. I personally would go there, provided the coffee was good (unapologetic heterosexual male here).

Same here. Who cares if the town is divided. If you like it, go there, if you don't, don't go.

This gem FTA: Not long after the argument caught the public’s attention, the police contacted Meghan Calavan and told her to remove the controversial Facebook comments. Police can now tell people to remove Facebook comments. Does this help ensure officers get home safe at the end of their shifts?

I wonder why the cops didn't tell the fat, jealous cow to remove her initial remarks which sparked the whole deal to begin with. And no, cops should not have any involvement with facebook disputes.

What is the problem with calling his daughter and her coworkers a beautiful fine lady?

In my experience when man refers to a woman in this context (e.g. a skin business) he’s using it in a sexual manner.

A place for the Hooters losers to go in the morning. If they still have money.

<><><><

You know a lot of people spending all their money at, of all places, Hooters? You should probably upgrade who you hang with.

So here I am, I’ve lived in Anacortes for 67 years, and this posting is the first I’ve heard about this. I didn’t even know there was a bikini barista joint in my own town, small, 16000+ population.

I need to get out of my bathrobe, shut off this computer, and get out of the house more.
