Unethical business practices.....
In article ,
Wilson wrote: I also disagree with your title - there is nothing unethical in a shopkeeper trying to make a profit. If she doesn't, she won't be in business very long. You have every right to disagree....I have every right to point out your mistake. She won't be in business long trying to cheat customers and lying by ommission either. Look, you asked for a quote, and she gave you one. Granted, the quote was way high, and late. That doesn't make her unethical, though it probably makes her a bad businessperson. She has the right to charge anything she wants; you have the right to accept or decline the offer. If the price is way high she's either shrewd (if someone actually pays that price) or dumb (if it puts her out of consideration), but in no case is it unethical. If this is unethical, so are all purveyors of bottled water (they buy it for about $0.0001 per bottle, and sell it for $0.99 a bottle!), pet rocks, and Windows operating systems. There are enough businesses out there which really ARE unethical, that we should reserve the term for them, and refrain from libeling those who are merely incompetent. Kelly |
