A Bag of Rice versus Integrity .. Which One Will you Choose?

Few days ago, I went out with 2 colleagues to Carrefour. We happily bought our stuffs and then went to the check out counter. There we met 2 newly recruited lady. As usual, we made small talk hopefully learnt something from them (anything free I want to know!). One of the lady said she just joined 2 days ago and do not know anything about recent promotions.

Anyway, after checking out we went to a cafe opposite the supermarket. We sat down and my colleague asked any easy way out without going through the supermarket! I wonder why. She then told us, the counter girl forgot to scan her bag of rice!! Which I think cost around RM60. I told her, will she go back to tell the counter girls?? I even challenged her, she just worked for 2 days, for all you know, she may be fired at the end of the day because of her carelessness!

So I start to play the devil advocate. Free rice or self integrity. Well being human and especially appearing in MY BLOG (look at my blog title), she opted Free Rice!

Anyway, this is just one small example. Will you do the same? I think most likely ;-)))

She may escaped the secular law but the law of cause and effect are very strict :)
