Sarah Goodwin Spoiled Food Products


The people that would benefit from this is the store because they are trying to get back the money lost. The people that would be harmed is the customers of both stores and the store with the infestation. The people whose rights are being more certain is the store that has the infestation because the manager wants to get back the $9,000 by selling them to the Ghetto store. The people who are being wronged is the store who the product is being sold too. They are under the impression that they are getting a quality product but they are not. The moral problem is should Sarah sell the bug infested wafer product to the other store in the Ghetto. The economic outcomes are to gain back $9,000. There are not really any legal requirements against this.
          There are several ethical duties that this case violates. This violates the self–interest, personal virtues, religious injunctions, universal duties, and the distributive justice ethical principal. In the long term this action may result in higher profit but may cause future retaliation from customers, make them lose credibility, trust, and respect from customers. Many of the customers may not come to the store ever again (self-interest). People should be open, truthful, honest, moderate, and proud. This idea will not result in honesty, truthfulness, being proud, and moderate (personal virtues). This idea is not kind, compassionate, and doesn't create a sense of community (religious injunctions). Every person should be treated with dignity and respect. The customers in the Ghetto are not being treated this way (universal duties). Actions should never harm the least of us which would be the poor, this action doesn't follow this (distributive justice).
         Sarah’s manager wants her to call this store in the Ghetto and sell these insect infested wafers to gain back the profit. The manufacturer would not give a refund because they felt it was not their fault. If Sarah doesn't follow the command of her manager she could lose her job. If I were in this position I would not sell the products to the Ghetto store. My values can’t let me be dishonest and I would look for a new job because I couldn't work with a manger who solves problems this way.
