I think both of us are wrong in this situation. Here are two situations that I would like to explain
separately.

At first Jenna didn't do what she did. When I go up to pay for drinks, she discretely charges me for one
drink. Which I think she has done outside of Ethics. Because we know from the interpretation of Ethics,
Ethics is a conception of right and wrong behavior, defining for us when our actions are moral and when
they are immoral. So jenna has worked outside of ethics because Jenna has no rights to undercharge
me.

On the other hand, I was also wrong and worked outside of Ethics. I certainly don't want to lose the
opportunity to save more money. But I shouldn't have done it. Because it is the loss of the bar owner.
And if the bar owner could understand the matter in any way, it would be bad for Jenna. I think we were
both wrong.

2)

Of course I will choose the next option. Since I talk a lot straight forward, I will tell Jenna direct to stop
undercharging me. And let me explain, I can't do anything that is unethical. If Jenna refuses my opinion, I
will explain to her that if she wants to give me a treat, then she has to treat me Big Fat fatty burger. I
think this is how I will handle the situation and be able to explain to Jenna.

3)

I find what Jenna is doing unethical. She did Unethical work undercharging me. Because Jenna works
there, she has no rights to undercharge me.

On the other hand, jenna serving me in front of other waiting customers. I don't want to put it in the
Unethical level. Because there were no hard and fast rules here, whoever comes first has to serve jenna
first. Sometimes we give first priority to known person. Jenna also did the same job.I don't think the
matter of serving me in front of other waiting customers is unethical.

4)

I think the thing behind Jennar's attitude is that the bar manager has mistreated her. Yes it helps to
explain her action. Jenna used to say, "This is only what this place deserves after the way I have been
treated."This statement can be explained, Jenna's action is affected by her boss's behavior.

In addition, my action is not affected by her boss's behavior towards Jenna. i just certainly do not want
to lose the opportunity to save some money. Though i was happy to get the cheap rounds at the bar but
was not 100% comfortable with what is going on. So I don't think the issue of Jenna and her boss has
affected my action.
