Coffee shop owner in US faces jail over waitress being too scantily clad

London, Feb 7 (ANI): A coffee shop owner in the US is facing up to 90 days jail time because one of her waitresses was too scantily clad.

Cheryl Clark, who runs Dreamgirls Expresso in Yakima, Washington state, was found guilty of violating the local indecent exposure ordinance after one of her "bikini baristas" wore sheer shorts while serving up coffee.

The police revealed that not only were the shorts sheer, they didn't cover enough of her buttocks.

Clark is now due to be sentenced on February 18.

"I think that it's creative marketing that really grabbed some attention," the Daily Mail quoted Kate Reardon, spokeswoman for the city of Everett, where one coffee shop was accused of exchanging sexual favours for money, as saying.

In Yakima, about 100 miles south east of Seattle, publicly wearing G-strings and see-through clothing is forbidden. (ANI)
