KENT, Wash. - Business has been bad at a coffee stand in Kent lately, but are wrinkles the reason?
Former baristas Shirley Stagner and Tina Holcombe say they were laid off, and losing their jobs didn't just hurt their incomes, it hurt their pride.
"I'm not a sexy young thing," Holcombe said.
Stanger, 47, and Holcombe, 48, believe they're not "hot" enough anymore to work at the "Hot Java Hunnies" coffee stand.
"I have to lay you off and I have have to younger girls in here," Holcome said she was told by her boss.
The baristas claim their boss wanted to perk up business with steamy young barista babes.

“Hot Java Hunnies?” Er, the name should have given that one away.
So? Sue him for discrimination. If not... move on.
“I have to lay you off and I have have to younger girls in here,” Holcome said she was told by her boss.”
Anyone dumb enough to say that out loud (which I doubt) won’t be in business long, anyway.
Maybe this will give them the kick in the rear that they obviously need and give them a little more ambition.
So that's what Suzanne Summers is up to now ...
Surely this is a title IX violation or an EEOC infraction or sexism or being a bigot or a greedy businessman or racism or...
Is there a lawyer in the house?
Dang - if that’s 47 and 48, I’ve got to remember to kiss the heck out of my 62 year old wife when she gets home tonight.
I was thinking the same thing.
I was thinking Courtney Love, but Suzanne works too, LOL.
They look like they both fell out of a tree.
So here’s what you do, hire the young honeys and put them on a different day. If sales are higher on their days, fire the biddies and tell them the others must have better sales skills because they sold more, and you’re giving the most effective sales personnel the hours. You don’t even have to get into theorizing about WHY they sell more (and you might even find out it makes no difference, in which case it’s none of your business).
On an episode of Undercover Boss, the CEO of 7-1l went to the store that sells the most morning coffee in the US - substantially more than any other store - to learn what the secret was so that he could do the same in other stores. The secret? One woman - overweight with gray hair - who made customers feel welcome and remembered them individually.
It’s a bad deal for the ladies, but the reality is:
in the Baraqqi Depression, the guy can probably hire Playboy bunnies with an Ivy League degree
I was hoping for pics of the replacements.
Yikes..!! I’ll stick with Dunkin Donuts.
How sad for them.
On the bright side....maybe they can form an act and go on the road as Mellon & Collie.
It looks better than where I get mine. at home in my undapants.
They aren’t hot enough, but proving that they were laid off for being ugly and then convincing a court to extend protected status to the fugly will be quite an uphill battle.
Used hard and put away wet.
Does it every time
