A person was telling me about a radio show she was listening to today. One of the topic apparently dealt with a police officer who was a regular visitor to a particular Starbucks and he would always receive free coffee. One day there was a management change and the store decided to not give the person free coffee anymore. <\/p>\n
As a result, the police officer apparently told the manager not to expect him and his team to come right away if they call for help. This then generated a conversation between us about whether or not one thinks that was a bad business decision as it probably costs the company barely anything anyways as an extra guarantee you will be on the person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good side when you need their services to make sure they will do a good job.<\/p>\n
I was inclined to think that this wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even a business issue as opposed to an ethics one. This type of issue is actually very common the more I thought about it. Example, for various services if people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel that you tipped them to their standards then next time they will simply give a below standard effort. Doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really make too much sense when you think about. I can see not wanting to work\/perform above what is expected though as that would be in-line with what the other person is offering.<\/p>\n
