Starbucks Sued For Job Discrimination
(AP) - Is making coffee a two-handed job? Eli Pierre doesn't think so. He's suing Starbucks for discrimination.
Pierre was born with half a left arm. He applied for a Starbucks job in San Diego. He contends the store manager told him a one-armed man wouldn't be able to do the job. Pierre is a former bartender and says he was never given the chance to explain his capabilities.
The company disputes his version. Starbucks counters that Pierre's application was given careful consideration.
