The Grab N Go Espresso location is in Everett, WA. The charges are a result of a two-month undercover police investigation in which police found the women were charging for things besides coffee.
The Grab N Go Espresso baristas, aged 18 - 24, were charging up to $80 for things such as stripteases, licking whipped cream off of each other and also allow customers to touch their naked breast and butts.
While not what I might consider prostitution (ahem), that last behavior falls under the city's prostitution ordinance. Of course, Bill Wheeler, the owner of the Grab N Go Espresso stand, denied their behavior.
Additionally, since the crimes are misdemeanors, the Grab N Go Espresso baristas have not been arrested. They are expected to have their day in court in the next few weeks, however.
