Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) continues to face an uphill battle after the company allegedly dug itself into a hole.
The coffee chain is facing numerous accusations of short-changing customers by underfilling its lattes. Starbucks is facing a class action lawsuit.
A judge has ruled that the plaintiffs may proceed with seeking damages from the company for fraud and false advertising.
In some cases, the lattes poured by Starbucks baristas are 25% smaller than usual.
The chain has yet to comment on the matter.
SBUX stock is up 1% Tuesday.
