Drake, who currently is not employed, is bipolar and has major depression, borderline personality and attention deficit disorders
Sounds like she should be head of the DNC.

When I saw the headline I thought they were being sued for serving only black coffee.

Drake, who currently is not employed, is bipolar and has major depression, borderline personality and attention deficit disorders,Nightmare employee. I bet she ran off more customers than anyone.

To: Patrick1
Two years and she still didn't know how to make drinks????!!!!!
I have trained several Starbucks baristas, you were usually given about a month to get it down.
On the other hand, I worked at one where they hired a guy who admitted he had learing disabilties during his interview. They fired him three weeks later. That was wrong and I did complain about the way he was treated. But this gal had more than enough time to learn how to do her job and of course your hours get cut if you can't perform. That's any job.

The NERVE of this company. Who are they to choose what type of employee they hire. Put her in front of that blazing hot steamer and turn her loose. Oh, might want to up the work comp coverage first.

When Christine Drake worked as a Starbucks barista, the Seattle woman with psychiatric disabilities said it was the first time in her life that she "felt a sense of accomplishment." Translation: she's nuts.
To: Cagey
However, when a new manager took over in August 2003, that person -- who is not identified in the suit -- no longer provided those accommodations. New manager: "This is a business, not a charity. You've been on the job two years and still haven't learned how to perform basic tasks? You're fired."

Maybe she should move to New Orleans and sue since the mayor has said that he wants it to be a "chocolate city".
