Make Mine a Decaf Single With No Cleavage

Hooters, beware.

From the state that revolutionized the coffee experience, the idea of mixing caffeinated beverages and barely dressed femmes seemed like a natural evolution (albeit a workplace injury waiting to happen from all that steam). Enter Espresso Gone Wild, a drive-through coffee stand where the servers wear lingerie, and pasties twice weekly.

But not in Belfair, Washington, thank you, a "gateway community" that's the "final fueling and supply stop" before the Olympic National Park. Some residents were steamed at the sight of baristas in a state of near deshabille, so council members have cracked down and demanded that the java jerks dress up. The move unleashed a libertarian outcry online... well, okay, searches for "espresso gone wild" frothed up 352%.

The coffee stand's not the first in the state to institute a minimal uniform: The Kitsap Sun credits the "pink leather hot pants" at Natte Latte. Despite the setback, Espresso Gone Wild will likely stick to its its pasties at its first drive-through location ... although no photos please. The flash might deflate the foam.
