On May 15th a customer came into the store requesting Overnight shipping a prescription eyedrops to his wife. She had gone on a trip and forgotten her medication. She told the customer it would cost $140, he said that was to much and chose a cheaper method, but not an overnight method

On May 18th he returned to the store mad and spoke with the owner. Because the package had not arrived. He demanded that my wife to be fired.

The owner verbally reprimanded my wife, removed her from the schedule. Then told her that the she needs to report in on May 26th and pay $200 to the store and would be placed on probation. The alternative would be to resign on May 26th.

This seems incredibly extreme for a first time offense.

Is there an anything legally she could do? Would this prevent her approval for unemployment?

She is an hourly employee.

Thank you in advance

This was an exceptional young man and the family could use our support. If anyone could help out for only a few dollars it would be much appreciated.
