Bikini Barista Throws Boiling Water On Flasher
PARKLAND, Wash. -- A man dressed in woman’s underwear and exposing himself drove up to a Parkland espresso stand three times before one of the baristas threw a cup of boiling water at him, said the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.
Jamae Feddock, a bikini clad barista at Java Girls, said she first thought the man dressed in women’s underwear and exposing himself was a sick joke, until the man came back several times.

VIDEO BACKSTORY: Bikini Baristas Not Only Ones Exposing Themselves
The first time he came to the window Feddock said he was wearing a white bra and white panties and touching himself inappropriately.
Then he came back a second time.
“He has underwear over his face, he's wearing hot pink panties now and the underwear that he was wearing is over his face and there's a little peephole so he can see,” Feddock said.
Feddock and another barista were working around 5 a.m. last Thursday when the incident happened. They tried to get a look at the man’s license plate, but that too was covered up with women’s underwear.
When the man came back a third time one of the baristas took a cup of 220 degree water and doused him with it.
“Kylie opened the door and threw boiling hot water on his face and his chest and he said oooh yeah,” Feddock said.
Police agencies around Pierce County said they are seeing more and more incidents of indecent exposure -- as more coffee stands open -- many with women dressed provocatively -- or barely dressed at all.
“I don't think we can make a quid pro quo there that this is causing the effect, and they certainly don't deserve that behavior, but we do have some of these stands that have been victimized by these activities,” said Det. Sgt. Jerry Bates a Pierce County Sheriff’s Deputy.

Starbucks must pay $100m tips back
A judge in California has ruled that supervisors cannot take a share of gratuities given to Baristas, and ordered the coffee chain to pay back the tips, totalling $100 million in all.
Judge Patricia Cowett said the practice was a violation of a state law prohibiting managers and supervisors from sharing in employee tips. Jou Chou, a former barista who filed the lawsuit back in 2004, stated yesterday that he felt vindicated. 'Tips really help those receiving the lowest wages. I think Starbucks should pay shift supervisors higher wages instead of taking money from the tip pool', he pointed out. California is Starbucks’ largest American market, with around 2,460 stores. The company has more than 11,000 stores in the US. A judge in California has ruled that supervisors cannot take a share of gratuities given to Baristas, and ordered the coffee chain to ... more
