So last Friday, nearly all of us went
to the U of M library, and then out for lunch for a break. My friends
and I went to Chipotle, and one of my friends, who shall remain
unnamed, asked for a glass for water and then filled it up with pop.
She did not pay for the pop, and really nobody saw nor cared among
the workers. Does Chipotle try to address this issue at all? I was
just wondering. Plus, shouldn't the individual think about the ethics
of what they are doing? Technically it's stealing, and I'm not trying
to make my friend feel bad if she ever reads this, I was just
observing. What my friend did is minor, but what about people who do
things on a larger scale? I cannot name any right now, but you know
what I mean? How can people in the world do things and not feel
remorseful? I also wonder what other people's roles are in an issue
like this, the friends for instance. We all ate together and
chastised our friend for what she did but did not take any action. It
was a slap on the wrist I guess you could say, and truthfully it was
probably pointless because she might just go on to the next Chipotle
down the road and repeat. Anyways, do we (the friends) then take
responsibility for someone's choices? I know this is about stupid
pop-stealing incident, but can you see where I am going with this?
I have been guilty of this exact offense but only when I was young and less prudent. In terms of bigger offenses, people often justify their actions by thinking it's not a big deal. They are deluded into thinking what they did was acceptable or even righteous. Our own morals are reflected in a sense when we allow others to commit acts.
