San Francisco Luxury News:
Baristas Coffee, a local chain of “sexpresso†coffee stands, says it has a deal to develop a reality TV show based on its employees — “attractive girls who wear provocative costumes.â€
One scene not likely to make the cut: The federal lawsuit in September alleging the chain violated labor laws by underpaying its employees, giving them checks that bounced and cheating them out of overtime.
Baristas Coffee, based in Kent, Wash., said last week it’s working with M and M Productions of Southern California, best known for producing poker shows and other programming that filled 100 hours on Fox channels in the past two years.
Their contract envisions a reality series “based on the Baristas business and the drama-filled lives of Baristas’ young, attractive female employees,†said a news release from Baristas founder Barry Henthorn.
