Picture this: you’re working at a cozy cafe located in a historic building, and a family comes in for a meal. Everything seems normal until the mother asks if there are any baby changing facilities. Unfortunately, due to the building’s restrictions, there aren’t any. But when you kindly direct her to nearby public restrooms, she decides to change her baby’s dirty diaper right there in the cafe! This is the situation one cafe worker found themselves in, and their response has the internet buzzing.

Was the Cafe Worker Right or Wrong?
In a historic cafe with limited space, a mother was denied the opportunity to change her baby’s diaper on the premises. The cafe worker, aware of the lack of baby changing facilities, directed the mother to nearby public restrooms with proper amenities. However, the mother chose to change her baby’s diaper in the cafe, causing the worker to intervene for sanitary reasons. The family left in a huff, and now the cafe worker wonders if they were in the wrong. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
