A little legal levity

So Starbucks just fired a dwarf, allegedly for being "too short", and now the federal government is suing the chain on her behalf.

I have to ask: Will this be a small-claims case?

I mean, geez. It's not like they asked her to sing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" all day, or anything.

  3. So would a customer cause a problem for ordering a "tall" latte?

  5. She may come up short on her proofs.

  6. Um, so, did her attorney file a short brief?

    And, if her action is not successful, will the headline be "Judge Tosses Dwarf Case"?

    She doesn't drive one of those British MG cars, does she?

  7. So if he is to short, how did they hire him in the first place?
