The cashier, who looked to be in his late teens or early twenties, told the woman that she shouldn't be drinking coffee. The woman, who had been limiting her caffeine intake throughout her pregnancy, felt angry and asked to speak to the manager. She suggested that the employee be fired for playing doctor and judging her. The manager placed her order and said he would think about the situation. Was the woman justified in wanting the employee fired or was she overreacting? Read on to find out more.
