Starbucks is settling a discrimination lawsuit for $75,000 with a Texas woman who was fired because of her short stature due to dwarfism. Elsa Sallard claimed in an EEOC filing that she offered to use a stool or stepladder to work at the counter, but was "ignored." Reuters reports that later that same day, the manager fired her because "she would pose a 'danger' to customers and employees."
