Ethics Question

[bigredguy]

You go to subway and get a sandwhich with double meat. When you get to the register, they ask you what kind of sandwhich it is. Do you say what it is and thats its double meat, or just the kind of sandwhich?

Usually the person who makes the sandwich tells the person at the register ...

If you order a double meat cheeseburger...it's not just a cheeseburger, but a "double meat" cheeseburger. I think the same idea would apply here. If they ask you what kind of sandwich you got, the correct way to phrase it would be, "a double meat (insert name of sandwich here)". That is the kind/type/etc. of sandwich, and the right thing to do. IMHO anyway. Voted accordingly, too.

The answer is plainly obvious from an ethical perspective.

But then the question becomes, are YOU ethical?

No, I would stick the sub down my pants and say "What sandwich?" :roll:

Not real sure why this would be your first response. I'm interested to see just how many people would be willing to try to get over on the cashier by playing the semantics game. As of this point in time, half of those who have voted would. Sad? Interesting? Either way, it makes me want to be VERY specific when I ask questions of someone in the future.

I have found that I feel better when I am honest.

How is option 1 any different than stealing? You really have to rationalize to argue that it is not.

 

[TexDotCom]

Excellent point. The problem seems to be that a lot of folks don't have a problem "stealing" when it's a relatively minor thing. I guess it's sort of like "little white lies" are supposedly not that bad.

 

[SilentZero]

I would be honest. Its also a question of integrity btw.

It's a big corporation so i really could care less. If it was a Mom and Pop sandwhich place, then i would not be tempted to tell half truths. Also, double meat only gets you what subway used to put on a sub for free anyways.

Ethics are VERY simple folks.

The answer to all qusetions like these is:

How would you want people to treat you if the roles were reversed?
