    I think her claim will come up short. How could a company that refers to their smallest drink a “tall” be called discriminatory?

    I think Starbuck’s defense would come up short in this case. A small error in judgment in making a decision to fire her when all it would have taken was a little effort in making some accomodations for her.

    Your thinking is small, and regardless of what they call their drink sizes this was and still is a reasonable request. Starbucks will end up paying a great deal unless they can prove that the step is a true hazard to customers and employees alike. I bet there is other equipment in their kitchen that is much more of a “hazard” than the step. Huh? Hmmm? Ahhh…

    Just another case of big coffee crapping on the “little people”.
