You realize women are capable of making informed decisions right?

Commodifying women's bodies isn't the same as feminist freedom of choice. The only reason a topless dispensary is even being considered a viable business option is because women's bodies are so heavily sexualized and objectified.

Yeah, and some women do it because they enjoy it and don't find it painful or shameful.

One of my friends was a stripper. She liked her job. No one put a gun to her head. She was a very fit lady and just didn't find her body shameful, and so she was quiet happy to be paid to show it off. She didn't need or want anyone like you to "save" her by taking away the option to be a stripper.

If we were really concerned about people being involved in involuntary sex work, we'd have a well regulated and legalized industry. Criminalizing sex work just means that criminals run sex work, police access is far more dangerous and unhelpful, and that there are no rules.

They can apply at non topless places. Nobody, and I mean nobody is forcing them to work there.
