Scenario: You are a top manager at a large hotel chain.A vendor has provided you with a written proposal (offer) to clean the hotel carpets at a very competitive price.Later, the vendor follows up with a telephone call to you to make sure you received his offer.In the conversation with you, the vendor states that if it gets the contract, will "do the home carpets once a year" as a thank-you.

Apply the Ethical criteria in chapter one to this situation (or one that has actually happened to you) to see if you think accepting the Vendor's offer to shampoo your personal carpets for free would be an ethical or a wise decision.
