According to a survey reported by the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom, one in eight women has bought expensive clothes, worn them on a night out, and then returned them the next day. Nearly half of those who did confess said they were motivated by money because they couldn't afford to keep the clothes given their current economic condition. But 18 percent said they did it because they enjoyed the "buzz." Those most likely to do it were 18- to 24-year-olds, 16 percent of who admitted to returning worn clothes (www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2157430/How-women-wear-expensive-new-frock-shop.html#ixzz3ea5m2mo).
Assume you are best friends with one such woman. She asks you to go shopping with her for a dress for the Senior Prom. She says the dress will be returned after the prom. You know what she does is wrong, but she is your best friend and don't *want her to get in trouble. What would you do and why? How might you counter the likely reasons and rationalizations she will give for her actions?
