Bikini Baristas File Wage Complaints

Local bikini baristas have been busy serving up lattes now say they’re not getting paid a cent for their services and are filing grievances with the Department of Labor and Industries. The owners of the Pretty in Pink espresso stand in Spokane near the intersection of Sprague and Bowdish also own espresso stands in Post Falls and two in Western Washington. The espresso stands all have two three things in common: The girls who work their wear bikinis, the girls say they aren’t getting paid, and formal claims have been filed against the espresso stands’ owners. Fifteen former employees of the bikini espresso stands have filed formal wage claims with Labor and Industries saying they were never paid for their work/McKay Allison, KXLY. More here.

Question: There's a bikini espresso stand in Post Falls?
