they featured them on some local morning news program today. Not sure what program/station as I was just passing through the room and saw the bit.
A bit of an interview with one of the waitresses (looking warm in a hoodie, sorry guys) and a patron but they did show several shots of a topless male waiter. Didn't do much for me, though... but I am glad they are "equal opportunity."  |

Good for them.
Maybe such a business move will work.
I remember as a young man, that I used to really enjoy see such sights.

If you're taking your shirt off, maybe you can get a job there too! |

Back in 1998 we were logging the farm pretty hard and this one friend wanted to look at a grapple skidder down in Ipswich Mass. As it was, the New England Truck Show was in Boston that weekend, and being farmers/loggers we liked to see the new trucks. (and the Freighliner girls if the truth be known) so we made a trip of it down to Boston.
The plan ws simple, stop at the topless donut shop, inquire about the skidder, go to the truck show and then check out the Golden Banna. It was all pretty innocent. Well we told the guy coming with us to see the skidder what the coffee shop was like. He must not have heard us because when he opened the door, there was the Coffee Maid standing there in all her glory and he yells out "Holy Crap what a coffee shop this is" loud enough for everyone in the place to hear him.
The way I see it, Starbucks costs just as much, the coffee tastes like crap and the the view isn't quit so nice either.

The funny part of this story is that the owner actually expected a huge fight over this. He mentioned it in the media before he approached the Town Planning Board and was shocked when they said,"we don't have any ordinances against it. Just keep your sign under this square footage and you are alright." From idea to permit was like a week.
In my town, the poor Amish came in and they got slapped with several summons of "Building without Permits", which is a crock because no one else in town gets those building permits.

It's called discrimination, Broke. Your friend heard you when you told him about the coffee shop. He just forgot to tell the brain he thinks with.
