Ethical Dilemmas
1. You work at the concession stand at the movie theater. Two of your friends have strongly suggested that you “give them a deal” when they purchase their food for the movie. You feel that you probably won’t get caught, and, after all, they are your best friends.
The ethical dilemma in this situation lies in whether to prioritize loyalty to friends over following rules and being fair to other customers. Giving your friends a deal would be unfair to other customers who are paying full price for their food. It also sets a bad precedent for future interactions and could jeopardize your job if you were caught breaking the rules.
In this situation, it is important to consider the consequences of your actions and whether they align with your personal values and the values of the company you work for. It may be more ethical to politely decline your friends' request for a special deal and explain to them the importance of following the rules and being fair to all customers. This decision may be difficult and could potentially strain your relationship with your friends, but it is important to prioritize fairness and integrity in your actions.
