Common sense usually works. In this case, the man really thought he could serve up coffee since he previously held a job serving drinks. A huge clue to the starbucks interviewer.
I’m wondering if this isn’t a “set-up” lawsuit. If the guy was a former bartender, WHY would he want to work for Starbuck’s? He’d make a hell of a lot more money bartending.
And do disability laws REQUIRE you to hire disabled people on the spot whenever they show up? Sure if you want the guy working for you, you make “reasonable accomodations”. But what if you have a stack of applications? Aren’t you allowed to pick the “best” candidate?
This is Callyfornia. Common sense is not so common.
