Money Moral Dilemma: Would you pay a parking back hander?

9.6K Posts



Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:
You’re parking in a big private car park in the centre of town. When you return the cost will be about £14. Yet a member of staff who works there tells you if you give him a fiver in cash he’ll let you through the gates no problem. This is self-evidentally defrauding the car park company. Would you pay the parking backhander?

Insult them by paying or let them struggle?

yeh why not. i wouldn't give him a hand job though. I'd just pay the parking ticket.
PS Merry Xmas xxx
You take the ticket, refuse to pay the back hander, then report him to the police and contest the ticket on the grounds that it was used as attempted blackmail.
You pay neither the back hander, nor the ticket, and there is one less parking attendant in the world.
