Coffee Shop Workers in Bikinis Sexually Harrassed

And some of them fight back!

Bikini Barista Throws Boiling Water on Flasher.

From the article:

Jamae Feddock, a bikini clad barista at Java Girls, said she first thought the man dressed in women’s underwear and exposing himself was a sick joke, until the man came back several times.

[…]

Feddock and another barista were working around 5 a.m. last Thursday when the incident happened. They tried to get a look at the man’s license plate, but that too was covered up with women’s underwear.

When the man came back a third time one of the baristas took a cup of 220 degree water and doused him with it.“

Kylie opened the door and threw boiling hot water on his face and his chest and he said oooh yeah,” Feddock said.

Police agencies around Pierce County said they are seeing more and more incidents of indecent exposure — as more coffee stands open — many with women dressed provocatively — or barely dressed at all.

This trend in baristas in bathing suits was brought up on the main page a few days ago.

While I don’t think that anything a woman wears is an invitation to sexual harassment or abuse, I have to wonder if less women will be willing to serve in bikinis if they continue to be harassed in such a way.
