Q:

A:
I've broken the sentence down into two parts. This should be easier to understand:
1. He said it was not disputed that a Starbucks employee drew an image of a smile on the cup as a way of marking it as Ms Foley's cup.
2. The image of a smile on the cup was referred to in the hearing as "slanty" eyes.
From the looks of it, somebody is suing Starbucks for that "slanderous" drawing.

It's also okay to say something like, "One Americano, please. Tall." It's perfectly natural to put the size after the type of coffee, as long as you put a little pause in between.

A:
"Did you get something from Starbucks today? They're having a buy-one-get-one-free sale."
This is what I would say.
Also, note that it's better to say "Starbucks is having a buy-one-get-one-free sale today" rather than "Starbucks is buying one and getting one free today". The second sentence means that Starbucks (the store/company) is buying something, not the customer.
