On her second day, a hysterical customer recognized her and informed the floor manager that she refused to be waited on by a murderess who had drowned a small child.
Помогите, пожалуйста, разобраться в выделенном. Она отказалась чтобы ее ожидала убийца, утопившая маленького ребенка? Какая-то лажа.

Yety, тогда не понимаю, увольнять то зачем?)
The following day she was hired as a saleswoman in the children's department at Saks Fifth Avenue. The salary was a great deal less than she had been used to, but at least it was enough to support herself.
On her second day, a hysterical customer recognized her and informed the floor manager that she refused to be waited on by a murderess who had drowned a small child. Tracy was given no chance to explain. She was discharged immediately.
