STARBUCKS EMPLOYEE USES WORD "SMALL;" FIRED ON SIGHT.

Seattle Washington

Eugine Sims was dismissed from his three year stint as a Starbucks employee on wednesday on the grounds of referring to a "Tall" coffee as simply "small."

Mr. Sims' manager, Jim Lords, heard this "atrocity" and according to an anonymous customer, "completely flipped out. I'm tellin you man, I've never seen a guy react that way to a single word before. The guy repeats my order as a 'small mocha frap'and all the sudden, he's got hot coffee in his face. Man, that manager through some coffee at him, spit in his face, and was yellin at him all the way out of the store! He went [freaking] nuts."

In an exclusive interview, Sims said that his face is permanently damaged by the scalding hot coffee, but he doesn't mind cause he's "suing the pants off that [unreasonable person]."

Lords, the manager, had no comment.
