Armed Barista

Don’t steal the beans at this coffee shop.

After getting sick and tired of getting her Spokane, WA, coffee shop robbed (it was robbed twice last month), Sara Chapel, owner of Jitterz Java, has encouraged her baristas to arm themselves for protection.

And it’s already showing dividends. On March 16th, a would-be robber, who appeared to be armed, was scared off after a newly armed barista grabbed her gun in defense, according to the Spokane Spokesman-Review:

Krystal Cogswell wears a holstered pistol on her hip while pulling espresso at Jitterz Java in Northwest Spokane.
“I figure if they can see it, maybe it will be a deterrent, apparently being a girl isn’t enough,” the 24-year-old said.
Robbers have struck Jitterz Java twice in February. On Sunday, a man who appeared to be armed ran off after a barista grabbed her gun and called police.
The recent string of violence has owner Sara Chapel fed up. “The way I’ve been scheduling the girls is that at least one girl who carries a gun is always on shift,” she said. The women will carry their own personal handguns that they’ve been trained to use.
