Topless In Maine - A Grand View

Undoubtedly, present economic times are tough. Employees are being furloughed, people are losing their jobs, businesses are cutting back, and some are even closing their doors for good. Even those customers who frequented local coffee shops for the splurge of a daily latte are curtailing their spending, and some of the major coffee chains, including Starbucks, have decided to diminish the number of their store holdings in various parts of the country. It’s not good when even the coffee shops begin to suffer.
In Vassalboro, Maine, however, the coffee business is apparently booming. The creativity of stimulation - economic and otherwise - has been demonstrated at The Grand View Topless Coffee Shop where customers can get more than a cup of coffee and a pastry. Not only can they satisfy their taste buds with the consumption of fresh coffee but they can be tantalized by the titillating scenery of the wait staff that includes two topless female waitresses and a bare-chested waiter. When it comes to the sexes, of course, the coffee shop doesn’t discriminate.
Even with a recent snowstorm, customers have been flocking to the coffee shop. Their caffeine high and any other elevation of their sensory capacities will likely linger beyond one cup of coffee. The sight of bare-chested wait staff stirs their desire to purchase additional cups of coffee, more lattes, and additional pastries to prolong the duration of their scenic view. Though it is said that people don’t read newspapers much anymore, it is very likely that newspaper reading has all but disappeared at this shop in Maine where other interesting distractions predominate. I have to wonder how many police officers stop in here instead of the local convenience store for their cup of coffee?
If there is any publication that decides to list the top ten coffee shops in the country, a sure bet in Vegas would be that the aptly named shop in Vassalboro would rate #1 for its literal “grand view.” Perhaps some stiletto shoe sales representatives should stop by the shop and try to sell their wares to the female waitresses. After all, what grander view could there be than a topless waitress adorned with 6” platform stilettos? Bring on the coffee.
Good article, Karen. No time for more comments, I gotta catch a plane to Vassalboro!
This is AWESOME. I am in retail but should business become a problem due to economic turmoil, maybe this is what my best friend and I should do!
Be sure to get a return flight, Ed!
1. In these tough economic times, businesses have to do what they can to bring in customers.
2. I believe it is part of the stimulus package !!!!!!
Are there any openings ?

Re: Roger Estes comment.
They sell coffee there too ?
Karen,
Per usual you have written an informative article. What would we do without people like you who keep the public informed?
Very entertaining article! In these tough economic times, this adds new meaning to “losing your shirt.”
Coffee would have to be free for police officers to give up the 7/11
