Topless Coffee Shop?!

At a time when the economy isnt doing so well, at least one thing appears to be recession proof - and that's a topless coffee shop in Vassalboro, Maine. The name of the place is the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop. Although the coffee shop has only opened for less than a week, business is already booming, and there are already regulars at the place. Most of these regulars are couples and females (surprisingly). Not only are there loads of customers, but there are lots of resume's coming in as well, so far there has been over 150 job applications, most of which belong to people who have just been laid off within the last couple months. In total, there are ten women, and five men working at the shop, and topless, of course. Donald Crabtree, the owner and the man who came up with this quite profitable idea, says that he did not hire only "10's" referring to the beauty scale, but hired "skinny to big-boned women," treating everyone equally. Despite not being "10's" the tips are coming along nicely too. Tips at the shop are averaging $30 a table, and one waitress even got a hefty $100 tip, just for one cup of coffee. The cafe has a really simple look to it from the outside. Just outside the door it says "over 18 only, Coffee shop, no cameras, cash only, and thank you". The place certainly does seem to be quite the success for quite a limited budget to start the business.
