A Houston woman plans to sue Starbucks after she burned herself with her coffee. The lawsuit says that Katherine Mize purchased coffee for herself and coworkers at a local Starbucks. When she pulled up to the drive-thru to receive her 20 oz. cup, she claims that the barista — who was in the first week of her employment — squeezed the cup as she handed it to her.
