Remember this? Here is Bellevue's version:

Just days after it opened, the scantily-clad baristas at Knotty Bodies in Bellevue are getting some steam from city officials.

On Tuesday, city officials said they planned to shut down the business because it is not complying with city codes.

Code enforcement officers delivered two cease-and-desist orders. One said the stand's curb-side ad is in violation of the city's sign ordinance, and the other ordered the stand to close until the owner builds barriers around the drive-through lane.

"They told us if we continue to serve today, there is a $100 fine," said one barista.

The baristas appeared unaffected by the warning, however, as they continued to serve customers using the drive-through lane.

Just after 5 p.m., code enforcement officers returned to the stand and put up orange cones around the drive-through lane at the stand, effectively shutting it down.

The article goes on to say that area residents filled a Monday night City Council meeting to complain about Knotty Bodies, and that Deputy Mayor Claudia Balducci "suggest[ed] shaming customers by taking pictures of them and then posting the photos online."

Christ I'm glad I don't live in Bellevue. Also, they couldn't come up with a better name than Knotty Bodies?
