I was in a bit of a bind. Several years ago I started a coffee shop. We served quality, ethically sourced coffee that people can afford. We were doing well, then between the pandemic, rising costs, and the opening of a well known coffee franchise in town that all changed. Now the math didn't work unless I wanted to gouge my customers. And, even then, volume was down so much from the competitor that I don't think I could survive. But I had a plan.
With the recent changes in laws and the movement caused by Gemma Hasty there might be a way I could attract more customers and hopefully increase tips so I could stay in business and pay my baristas more as I knew they were also struggling but remained with me out of a sense of loyalty. Today, before we opened, I had called them together to present my plan and see if they were in.
Currently I have 3 employees all putting themselves through the local college. True to her name Scarlet was a fiery redhead. She was sassy, flirty, and confident. She tended towards low cut tops without bras, showing off her firm D cup breasts to their full potential earning her a fair amount of tips from smitten college boys and young professional men. She had an athletic build from a martial arts and gym obsession.
Hazel was less confident than her friend, but no less beautiful. She was dark haired and barely 5 feet tall with B cup breasts that fit her frame nicely. She had been a high school basketball phenom and still played for the college team with a slight interest in going to the WNBA when she graduated. She tended to dress more conservatively in vintage dresses although from the lack of lines and the easily discernible piercings showing through them she also never bothered with a bra if she wore underwear at all.
Finally, there was Lia. It was hard to tell her body shape as she tended to hide it in baggy clothes although they couldn't really disguise that she was very curvaceous with breasts even larger than Scarlet. She wore glasses and was very meek and quiet around the customers as well as shy around me. Still her two coworkers included her in their banter and the 3 got along very well together.
They currently sat before me with a charged sense of anticipation as I tried to keep my face neutral. "So I'm sure you've noticed that traffic has been down. It's not any of your fault, it's hard to compete with a major franchise. That said, I have an idea that I wanted to present to you. But first, let me lay out why we're here. If nothing changes currently I will have to shut down in less than 6 months. However I'm sure you've heard about the new laws and the coverage around what Gemma Hasty is doing. I think we can use that to our advantage in a way that a large corporation can't, at least not quickly. In a way that will hopefully drive traffic back up and build up a loyal customer base that will help us survive."
"Now, none of this is mandatory. You can continue working as you currently do. And you don't owe me anything as far as keeping the business alive. I'll write y'all glowing recommendations regardless. But I think this will increase revenue and tips, allowing us all to benefit. So here it is."
"I'd like you to consider working nude, or at least topless. You're all beautiful women and we've seen how relentlessly our male - and even some of our female - customers flirt and, frankly, drool over you. If you're cavorting around completely bare, showing all kinds of naughty bits as you bend over serving drinks or wiping down tables, I think they'll respond. And I've seen how well y'all garner tips currently. I think given the full arsenal of your sexuality and charms that could increase significantly."
"For anyone that does decide to do it I will double your wages for any shifts you do. The tips will still be split communally as that's harder to estimate, unless y'all decide on a different arrangement there. So... what do you think?"
As I expected Lia turned red at the idea and shook her head, looking down. Meanwhile Hazel bit her lip, a thoughtful look in her eye as she and Scarlet exchanged a glance. Scarlet had a large smile on her face and then immediately began disrobing. In a few minutes her clothes were a pile in her hand and her stunning body was revealed. Unexpectedly two barbells adorned her large, excited nipples. Surprisingly her clit was also pierced and the shiny gem adorning that drew in your attention. She handed her clothes over to me without a care.
"Can you hold these for me until the end of my shift boss? Also, while I appreciate and will definitely take the money, can I say this is awesome? I can't wait to tease all my regulars. Do you have somewhere in mind where we can release the tension on our breaks or should I just hop up on the counter, spread my legs, and jill myself off for the store?" She offered me a raised eyebrow and a cheeky grin as her comment caused Lia to fidget and blush even more.
Hazel shook her head ruefully at her friend. "You really are a wanton little slut aren't you?" Scarlet just beamed back at her, arms on her hips in the classic superhero pose which hid nothing of her body. Hazel turned back to me. "I think I could probably do topless but I can't do that today with my current outfit. Maybe tomorrow, let me think about it and see how it goes for Scarlet, ok?"
I nodded. "Perfectly fine. As I said, none of this is mandatory, just incentivized. Anyways, it's almost time to open up, let's get started."
For three of us, the day was pretty standard. Scarlet meanwhile had her best day at work in more ways than one. Her constant teasing of the customers - leaning forward so her breasts brushed against their face as she served drinks, while the people behind were treated to a full beaver shot through her widely spread legs - led to a huge increase in orders. Ringing customers up she mesmerized the poor lads as she would bring her arms together to hand them their change, pushing her breasts up and together and practically serving them up to them. All the while her nipples were rock hard and her slit glistened in excitement. They barely paid attention to the bills they stuffed in the tip jar at her request. I had to clean it out a half dozen times as it constantly overflowed.
She didn't end up spread eagle on the counter but as I was taking out the trash halfway through the day I did stumble on her out back, leaning against the building, eyes closed, one hand caressing a breast as the other slid across her folds and clit, playing her body like a symphony. I couldn't help but watch as she jilled herself off to a toe curling orgasm scored with sultry moans. When she opened her eyes to catch me watching she only smiled, waving coyly with the fingers of one hand while she seductively licked the other clean and stared at my obviously excited crotch. I apologized and slipped back inside while she giggled behind me.
At the end of the day they settled around me as I announced that not only had we done almost three times the business we'd normally do - which would likely increase as word of mouth got around - but the tips were 10x what they normally split. As I tried to divide it up though the two other girls pushed back.
Hazel spoke for both of them. "Me and Lia discussed this during a break. It's obvious Scarlet drove the increase in tips and we can't in good conscience take advantage of that. So we decided that we'll just take what we'd normally expect. And going forward if anyone doesn't want to participate that shift, that would be the deal - they'd take a normal share and anyone that does participate can split the extra equally."
Scarlet frowned a bit. "I mean sure I did more but I loved it and that's why I did it. Are you positive? This seems unfair to you."
Hazel nodded. "We're sure. That said, after seeing how much fun you had I'm going out to get a manicure, pedicure, and wax and tomorrow I'll be working wearing only a choker. So watch out as I'm planning on stealing your tips!" She grinned at her bare friend playfully.
Scarlet laughed. "Mmm. I forgot about the choker. That will make this so much sexier. I'm in too. What about you Lia?"
Lia blushed deeply. "I'm sorry. I'm just not as confident as you two. I'd love more money but I just don't think I can run around bare."
