The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit against Starbucks Coffee Co. on behalf of a woman who claims she was fired from an El Paso coffee shop because she is a dwarf.

The EEOC in the lawsuit claims that Starbucks failed to provide reasonable accommodations for Elsa Sallard, who was fired from her job as a barista.

The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in El Paso, claims Sallard was terminated after three days because of her disability in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Starbucks officials could not be reached for comment Monday night. Starbucks has locations around the world, including at least a dozen in El Paso. The coffee shop is not specified in the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, Sallard was hired as a barista, a position with a job description stating no prior experience was necessary. Sallard was hired July 27, 2009.

Sallard, according to the lawsuit, requested a stool or a small step ladder to help her do her job such as working the cash register and preparing beverages. Starbucks allegedly refused.

On July 30, 2009, Sallard was fired after Starbucks allegedly claimed she would be a danger to customers and employees, according to the lawsuit.

So in three days she all the sudden became a dwarf?

      You think a big man moving that fast has the ability and coordination to do that on purpose? Aim his cleats on the calf of man half his size moving at full speed.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      10 things I think about Bryce... 1. He's improved a lot more than many people here care to admit. 2. I think he's better than just a backup QB. 3. I also don't think he'll ever be a high-end starter or franchise QB. 4. I don't think he's quite reached his ceiling yet. 5. His ceiling likely looks roughly like how he played against Dallas, more or less consistently each week. 6. His size is less of an issue than his arm strength is. A lack of arm strength doesn't allow for his accuracy to translate to downfield throws. This ultimately will be what limits his upside as an NFL QB. 7. He's been far more durable than I expected, recent injury aside. You can't question his toughness at this point considering his size and how often he's been hit over his first couple seasons. 8. I don't think we'll ever really know what Dave Canales is capable of as a playcaller without a QB who can make downfield throws a lot more consistently than Bryce has shown. 9. I wouldn't pick up his 5th year option or extend him. 10. Long-term our best bet is to hope he continues to play more or less well and hope a team in desperate need of a QB (Jets? Raiders? Dolphins?) make us a decent offer for Bryce, hoping they can get the next Baker Mayfield/Sam Darnold redemption story.

      Bills pass defense ranked 2nd Bills rush defense ranked 31st   We won’t have to rely on Dalton’s arm to be competitive.
