Officials in Mason County Washington have decided the scantily clad baristas at an espresso stand are erotic entertainers. Do people leave dollar bills when they pickup their coffee? Officials say the women will have to cover up or 'Espresso Gone Wild' will have to go. The stand opened last month and drew complaints at the July 30 meeting of the Mason County Board of Commissioners. Commissioners sent the women a letter saying the coffee stand is not zoned for erotic entertainment. The owners said they didn't expect the backlash and will comply with regulations and put their tops on. It's not the first conflict over barely-dressed baristas. Half-naked baristas in Washington's Bonney Lake made national news after parents protested, prompting attorneys for Pierce County to declare the stands adult entertainment, that can be regulated just like a strip club. Since then the baristas have reportedly toned down their attire. Pasties anyone?
