Tammy was recently hired to work as a receptionist at a law firm. As receptionist, she is responsible for making copies for the associates. Her sister, Elaine, comes in and asks for some copies of a flyer for her real estate business. Elaine needs 200 copies, in color, and claims this is a one-time request. The company copies do not require a login, so they do not keep track of copies made by departments. Do you, as Tammy, make the copies as requested by your sister?
