Looks like I’ve been wasting my time at Starbucks.

from www.q13fox.com – EVERETT, Washington – Everett Police say five baristas are in trouble for offering more than just coffee at an Everett espresso stand.

Everett Police Sergeant Robert Goetz told Q13 FOX News that police concluded a two month investigation where they found ‘terribly inappropriate’ and lewd behavior. Five women from the ‘Grab-N-Go’ espresso stand in the 8000 Block of Broadway in Everett have been charged with prostitution and violating the city’s Adult Entertainment ordinance.

Police started their investigation after tips came in from customers. Sgt. Goetz says, “For extra money these women would expose their entire body. If they were wearing a bikini they would either take it off or at least lower it. There were some allegations… Complaints from our citizens that they were performing whip cream shows between two women.”

Police say, in one instance, an alarm went off at the espresso stand and when they responded, they found a naked barista.

The owner of the business, Bill Wheeler, says the women who work at the ‘Grab N Go’ all sign a policy prohibiting the kind of behavior alleged by the police investigation. Wheeler says the policy will be strictly enforced and any violation means immediate termination.

“Any girl caught doing anything illegal will be fired on the spot,” says Wheeler. “Every girl that works for us knows that our policy states clearly, acceptable attire for work. They must cover their bottoms and use pasties, if necessary.”

Wheeler says no whip cream on bodies or sexual gestures are allowed.

He says the the media should check the other stands in Everett as well and not just target his. He says he can’t control every moment of every girl that works for him.

Police say they are getting tips from other locations and investigations are on-going.

If convicted the women could face 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
