Midget being fired for being too short?!

"The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing Starbucks for firing a dwarf who asked for a stool to perform her job as a barista at an El Paso, Texas shop."


So my understanding is they fired this woman for being TOO SHORT. This is extremely prodigious, for she cant help how tall she is.
Oh so she shouldn't of applied if she knew she couldn't do these tasks? Um, look at the economy, people are striving for jobs and money. Its a job, and the people who hired her should of made sure she was able to preform tasks before they hired her. She is a midget so they should have right to do that, or they should have her do jobs that they can reach. Firing her because she is too short is rude, and they probably could of found an alternative to help her without causing danger, they just didn't want to put the effort.
I understand why people think its understandable to fire her, but don't hire a midget if you can tell that she isnt taller than the counter. Common sense people?
