In a book entitled Cheaters Always Prosper: 50 Ways to Beat the System without Being Caught, James Brazil (a pen name), a college student from the University of California, Santa Barbara, has provided 50 ways to obtain a "free lunch." One suggestion is to place shards of glass in your dessert at a fancy restaurant and then "raise hell." The manager or owner will then come running with certificates for free meals and probably waive your bill. Another suggestion is, rather than spend \(\$ 400\) on new tires for your car, rent a car for a day for \(\$ 35\) and switch the rental car tires with your tires. So long as your car tires are not bald, the rental car company employees will not notice, and you will have your new tires for a mere \\($35\)..............................

Discussion Questions

1. Are these suggestions ethical?

2. Was publishing the book with the suggestions ethical?
3. Do any of these suggestions cost anyone any money?
