This case is taken from Hill, Just Business, pp. 116-118.

Sovanny, a college student majoring in biology, works part time as a waitress for the Eager Eagle Restaurant. One evening an eight-month pregnant customer orders a double whisky before her meal. The following conversation occurs:

Sovanny: Oh, I don’t think you want to do that. I just studied the serious harm that alcohol can cause to babies. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a serious problem.

Customer: Hey, this is my baby, not yours. Besides, you job is to serve me. Now get me my drink.

Sovanny: Just a minute, please.

Sovanny finds her manager, Bob, and expresses her concerns. After Bob discussion the matter directly with the customer, he orders Sovanny to deliver the drink. She refuses and is fired.
