City ordered bikini baristas to cover up. That’s unconstitutional, WA judge rules
The judge found that the city’s dress code violated the U.S. and Washington State Constitution’s equal protection clause in the 14th Amendment.

Bikini baristas in a Washington city were banned from wearing pasties and g-strings to work, and a U.S. district court ruled that it was unconstitutional.
The judgment centered on dress code laws the city of Everett passed in 2017, which the workers say clearly targeted the businesses where they worked.
U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez found the dress code, which required all “quick service facility” workers to wear shorts and T-shirts that would cover their midriffs, violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution as well as the Washington State Constitution’s 14th Amendment because it targets women’s clothing and not men’s.
Well done Judge Martinez!
If you are offended by what they are wearing, get your coffee somewhere else.
