Say it ain't so! Starbucks is supposed to be a shining example of forward thinking and diversity and inclusiveness and everything nice, a LGBTQ/nonWhite/disability safe and friendly environment. Say it ain't so!! Looks like Starscmucks once again takes it in the shorts as their veneer of progressivism becomes increasingly thin.

I think they could have counted her not qualified for that particular service without an accusation of falsification.

I mind leftiness a lot less when it is done sincerely.

Bad ruling. I’ve got dyslexic friends, I know it can be a challenge, but wrong numbers is wrong numbers and if part of her job is validating the numbers she needs to figure out how to do that.

How about an accountant with dyslexia? getting the numbers wrong is OK and the employer has to make accommodations.
How about a dyslexic filing an income tax return with numbers mixed up? will the IRS make accommodations?

Campaigners say tribunal finding in favour of Meseret Kumulchew

I imagine life is pretty rough for a dyslexic person named Meseret Kumulchew...

OMG. How long will it be until we have to submit to neurosurgery performed by the mentally disabled? After all, life must be fair for everybody.

If she knew she was dyslexic, she should not have taken a job that requires accurate entry of numbers. Plain and simple.
A restaurant can lose it’s license at the drop of a china plate, should they have a warm freezer during inspection.

I’m a dyslexic accountant who did 10 years in Federal prison because my dyslexia resulted in $500K disappearing from my employer’s books and,amazingly enough,appearing in my personal account the very same day!

Wow. Starbucks will get fined for incorrect numbers. So, now they get fined because they object to incorrect numbers.

I hate to say it, but the company is getting screwed.

[lee martell]

They need to reduce their liability and her hours asap.
Hopefully, they are not yet unionized.
This girl is not ready to play ball.

Starbuck workers of the world, untie!

[driftdiver]

If you think about taking your life over a job at Starbucks then you have bigger issues to work on.

[glock rocks]

Wow, she became so despondent ... she nearly threw herself behind a bus!

[longfellow]

MAD DOG! Wait sorry, GOD DAM!

[Uncle Miltie]

That’s “Ratscubks” to you!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The tribunal heard that Starbucks accused Kumulchew of falsifying the recordings, reduced her responsibilities and ordered her to retrain.

The last two items are logical, the first conclusion is not unless there is a lot more to this story then is in the article.

People write down numbers wrong, they read numbers wrong even without dyslexia.

I always run the numbers three times and then turn the tapes over to check that they all read the same. Being human I make mistakes. If it is really important then I have someone else check my work as well.

Ummm...shouldn’t the headline read:

“Dyslexic employee wins discrimination case against BarStucks”

??

She thought she was working at Buckstars.
