"If you&amp;#x27;ve ever had to wear a uniform to school or work, you can sympathize with the monotony, the routine, and the loss of individuality that comes with wearing the same thing as everyone else. But the uniforms at a new coffee shop in Maine are another thing entirely, and I&amp;#x27;m curious what you guys think of them... The Grand View Topless Coffee shop just opened up its doors on Monday in the tiny town of Vassalboro, Maine, and as the name suggests, the waitresses have nothing on up top. One of the shop&amp;#x27;s 23-year-old waitresses told the local paper, &amp;quot;I find it very empowering, not degrading&amp;quot; to serve coffee and donuts in short shorts and a pair of black boots. And apparently plenty of local women agree with her--150 of them showed up to apply for just 10 available positions. I&amp;#x27;m sure it doesn&amp;#x27;t hurt that one of the waitresses reported receiving a $100 tip from guy who didn&amp;#x27;t even finish his coffee. Read the fully story now at the Kennebec Journal and let us know what you think--would you take a job as a waitress where the uniform required of you was, er, no uniform? Do you find this concept degrading to women, like a few longtime Vassalboro locals who are protesting the shop&amp;#x27;s morals? Or do you think as long as the coffee shop is an equal opportunity employer (there are three male waiters currently on staff), it&amp;#x27;s alright? Discuss!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
