Question

Susan is working the night shift and there aren't many people in the store. Her

coworker notices that the cash register has more money than accounted for.
She decides to take the extra money without reporting it. How should Susan
handle this situation ethically?
A. Pretend like she didn't see the money being taken
B. Inform the manager that money was taken from the cash register
C. Tell another coworker what happened and ask him not to tell
D. Ask the coworker to split the extra money with her

Answer 1

Answer: B. Inform the manager that money was taken from the cash register

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethics simply has to do with knowing what's good and what's bad. Since Susan noticed that her co-worker took the extra money without reporting, the ethical thing to do is to report to the manager.

Pretending not to see what happened, splitting the money with her or telling another co-worker about it but telling the co-worker not to tell anyone are all wrong and not ideal. The co-worker who stole should be reported to the manager.
