Select a corporation, labor union or other group that actively advertised for or against a federal candidate in the last election cycle. Prepare a written response that addresses the following questions: $(1)$ Who did the group support? $(2)$ Why did the group support this candidate? $(3)$ What type of advertising did the group use? $(4)$ What was the nature of the advertisement? $(5)$ Was the advertisement consistent with the campaign strategy of the candidate? $(6)$ What was the ultimate outcome of the election? $(7)$ What impact will this spending have on a candidate$$s future decisions?rtender at an established golf resort, I witnessed firsthand the varied factors that can affect one$$s $$pour$.$ A pour can be defined as how much liquor is added to a customer$$s drink. The three factors that affect one$$s pour are as follows: comparisons to other employees$$ pours, the requests of customers for extra pours with compensation of a larger tip, and what the company designates as a pour.

When working as a team or having repeat customers, bartenders are compared based on their pour. If one bar$-$ tender uses two pours and another uses one pour $($the latter is the standard for the company$),$ the rule$-$following bartender is not viewed as favorably as the one using the larger pour. This is clearly reflected in tips from customers. Similarly, the customer might say, $$Put a little extra in there and I$$ll take care of you.$$ The employee is put on the spot to choose between the company and him or herself.

The bartender with the heavier pour or who gives away drinks for free may receive more money in their tip cup, but the company suffers from lost revenues. If a bartender makes an average of $100$ drinks a night and uses two pours instead of one for each drink, that bar$-$ tender is giving away $100$ drinks worth of alcohol each night which reduces nightly revenues and has a huge effect on yearly liquor revenues.

In this highly competitive and profitable industry, over pouring is a practice that can cripple a business. As the newest bartender, one wants to fit in with the other bartenders and earn as much money as possible though it costs the company or $$house$$ profits. Which is more important, fill$-$ ing your own tip cup or maximizing the house$$s profits that does not directly benefit the bartender?

Is it ethical to overpour customers$$ drinks to develop better customer relations to earn more tips at the expense of company revenues? Are the bar$-$ tenders using the $$entitlement mentality$$ here to justify their self$-$serving actions? Do bartenders have a $$right$$ to take care of their own cups?

If the customer wants or expects an overpour, should the companies allow an overpour to satisfy the customers$$ wants and desires?

Is it ethical to witness and not report over pouring on the part of fellow bartenders who have been there longer? Should I inform management what is happening?
