Quote:MADISON, Maine (Feb. 19) - Tired of the same old Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts? The Madison Planning Board tonight takes up a man's application to open a topless coffee shop on Main Street.
Normand St. Michel says his plan to employ partially nude waitresses is intended to boost the establishment's chances of success. He says the idea is to do something different to attract coffee drinkers.
St. Michel says he also wants to run a clean business in which no alcohol will be sold.
Madison's code enforcement officer says he knows of no town ordinances that would bar such an operation. Robert Dunphy Jr. also said he doesn't think the interior of the coffee shop would be visible from the street.
umm..does nothin for me to want to buy coffee from him
and, you know..that whole Maine thing--could be the problem in the first place
Makes me sorry I take mine black.
Ironically, I'm starting "Slappy Doo Hoo's Topless Taco Stand" in Vermont.
I hope that the waitresses are VERY careful when serving the coffee. One slip, and OW! :wink:
I saw this news in today's paper - funny and odd - that's Maine.
That is the best way to make a buck. Boobs = money. I'll have to contact that guy and see if he needs investors.
There'd have to be some lawsuits come out of a place like this!
Read in the Globe this am that he has decided to not venture into this business as he has had poor response to interest in it
Good. One bad idea down. Now...

I have my doubts about topless tacos, Slap. No lettuce? No cheese? No tiny bits of tomato? I just don't think it'll sell.
But wait, he wants his tacos to stand?
Over the last few years a few bars, gentlemen's clubs have opened and after a few weeks of indignant protest and hightened interest, most generally go 'tits' up.
Very few places manage to succeed if you take women customers out of the picture. Men go where the women go, and most waitresses are only interested in the tip. Not a great long term business plan.
How about my idea? A topless ice cream place called "Big Cones". That cold air does wonderful things!
Or maybe "Sugar cones". I guess I need a little help with the name of the place.
Or a restaurant that featured male nudity, called Dix!
