What are you made of?

Ethics.
Real ethics.

This Entrepreneurship stuff really makes you figure out what you are made of!
It is humorouse because something happens almost every day that feels like a cheesey case study in a Biz Ethics class.

For example:
Here is the situation.
You are in a business and the biz owes a customer about $7 worth of product- but it is on backorder and you can't get it to them......3 weeks pass and the biz gets the product but gives it ALL to one of the BIG customers (who ordered a lot more than just $7)....this small order completely falls through the cracks.  Finally the customer runs out of product and calls another teamember frantic...they have to figure out a solution.....which they end up going to the big customer and getting some of the product back to give to the small customer.....however when they deliver the the small customer the small customer has completely forgotten that they have already paid for the product and the other teammember has too.  Sooooooooooo they pay again.  Now at the end of the day you ask for a status update.......and the whole story comes out.......some of the members on the team think you should just let it go....the customer is always right....if they say they didn't pay...they didn't.  However, you are confident that they really HAVE paid.  They also point out how frantic and angry the customer is and that by pointing out that you had made the mistake that they will get more angry and you might loose them as a customer.  You feel strongly that the company needs to fess-up and give them the additional product.  The other teammember agrees that we should give them the extra product...but make it sound like it is "just a gift" because "we don't know for sure that we owed them the product"....and "this way we are covered"....however this just seems like a little bit of a skeezy cop out.....

example:
A teammates creates a marketing flyer with suspicious statements....what do you do?
