The strengthened lewd conduct ordinance in Snohomish County came after neighbors of numerous coffee stands complained about bikini-clad baristas in nothing but thongs and pasties flashing customers and simulating sex acts in public view, KOMO-TV, Seattle, reported Thursday. Advertisement Servers at some coffee stands that follow the revealing clothing business model complained the new regulations will reduce their clientele. Workers at Lady Bug Latte said they expect customers to flee across the street to the Cowgirls Espresso, which is located in King County and therefore not subject to the new rules. "I mean, guys will drive over here, take one look at us, look us up and down. Then we'll watch them go across the street, and you know that's all they want," barista Tristina Lochmann said. Some cities within the country, including county seat Everett, are exempt from the strengthened regulations due to local ordinances, KOMO-TV reported.
