"I'm sorry but is that waitress naked?"
"No, she's only half naked."
"Ohhh. Wow."
This could ba a possible conversation between a Vassalboro, Maine resident and a visitor who hadn't read the sign outside of this particular coffee house. Donald Crabtree opened the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in a town of about 4,500 people.
He was quoted saying "People like nudity, and coffee is profitable. Sure, I'd start a coffee shop, but I'd be out of work in a week."
150 job applications came in, and Crabtree hired 10 women and 5 men, ranging from model status to plus size. He is already seeing regulars and his staff are already seeing their wallets get bigger. One waitress received a $100 tip for one cup of coffee!
Of course Crabtree was faced with opposition, but who is to blame him for wanting to make good money in an economy that sucks?
Even though I find the idea of breasts hanging over a croissant making its way to my table, a little hard to swallow, I would have to give a thumbs up to a topless coffee shop, as long as it doesn't turn into a whore house.
Models and actors show off a little to alot for ALOT of money, why can't a young waitress from Maine do the same?
Go Team Topless!!
Hmmmmm.... your writing is real good...
