Starbucks has agreed to pay a former employee $75,000 to settle a discrimination complaint alleging she was fired from an El Paso shop for her dwarfism.
The barista, Elsa Sallard, had asked during her orientation for a stool or small stepladder to accommodate her small stature, a request that was disregarded, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged in a lawsuit on her behalf.
She was terminated over concerns she posed a "danger" to customers and employees, the lawsuit said.
