Oregon - A Portland woman is suing Starbucks, claiming the Seattle-based coffee giant denied her a job because of her age.
It started two years ago, when then 53-year-old Deborah Boyajian walked into the Starbucks store on Congress Street in Portland, looking for a part-time job as a barista.
The manager said she would check her references, but never did.
Boyajian says that over the next five months, while she submitted multiple applications to work for Starbucks, the company hired 19 other applicants at three stores in Portland and one in South Portland. All but one of the people hired were younger than 30 years old. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Garden-Gadget
