Should Rebecca come clean about David's baguette?

Pound

One way of looking at it is that he pays her £25 for the service of providing him with a baguette and coke. He's getting what he paid for regardless of how she goes about it.

hahaha

technically speaking this is dishonest appropration of property belonging to another (theft) for which you could theoretically receive a prison sentence of 7 years.

it's also morally wrong to steal. If rebecca's boss is that bad she should give him the £4 back but gob in his baguette and watch him eat it.LOL.

all this talk of being honest and giving him the change because it looks good on your record makes me barf quite frankly.

My idea of being honest is being honest with yourself. If he's a good boss and I respected him, I'd tell him about the offer and give him the change because I LIKE him, not because I'm a brown noser. I hate that sort of psycophantic mentality.

If he's a bad boss I'd have probably found another job by now but if not, he'd be paying full whack for his lunch!!!!!

Either way, I wouldn't pocket his money though.

Apart from being unethical, it is illegal.

The money is given to her in trust for the beneficiary (her boss). In the conditions of this 'Trust', she is not an intended or specified beneficiary. If she uses the money for the benefit of anyone other than her boss, she would be in breach of her responsibilities as a trustee to use the money for the benefit of the beneficiaries, which is illegal.

Honesty is the best policy regardless but her thrift should impress but if he finds out she's been deceiving him she can kiss goodbye to any goodwill when she wants a favour like a day off.

tell him it shows he can trust you & that could pay off later

I would give back the change with reciept everytime. I would also tell him about the offer...treat people how you wish to be treated.

Of course she should give him the money. If he's a decent boss he'll appreciate her honesty, and may even tell her to 'keep the change'. Keeping the money and not telling him would be dishonest, and could lead to difficulties in their professional relationship.

Yes Rebecca should come clean and tell her boss about the offer in the Independant. If she does not and her boss finds out then all trust in her will be lost. Which would result in a breakdown in her proffesional relationship with her boss.:o

If it was a bad boss then I would just pay the normal top whack price for the sarnie and smile to myself that if he'd have been a nicer bloke he would have made a saving.

Then treat myself to the voucher myself instead of my usual sarnies packed at home.
