The Broken Glasses
At Danny’s Beach Bar run by Danny McDoogle at a popular Andalusian beach, there were five waiters who would take turns washing glasses used by customers.
One day there were five broken glasses, four of them caused by one of the waiters named Pedro.
Danny McDoogle was furious, figuring that this was certainly beyond the realms of chance and due to sabotage. So, he decided to fire Pedro for damaging his property.
The other waiters stood up for Pedro claiming that this could happen to anyone.
Based on probability, would this event be a valid reason to fire Pete for being careless, or could it have been an accidental occurrence as the waiters claimed?
