Don works at the local gas station and garage. Don's boss, Betsy, encourages Don to find brake problems with out of state cars that come to the station. Usually Don tells the driver that their brakes are leaking fluid, and offers to replace the brakes at a good price. The cost is low because Don does nothing more than remove the tires and look at the old brake pads. One day a woman with five kids
comes to the station and Betsy tells Don to "do a brake job." Don does not want to have five kids running around the station and tells the lady that they are out of gas and to go down the street to the next station. Can Betsy fire Don?
a. Yes, unless the station had gas.
b. Yes, because Betsy ordered him to perform a service and Don refused.
c. No, but Don is liable for any economic loss Betsy suffered.
d. No, because Betsy ordered him to perform an illegal act.
