Honesty is the best policy! 0% (0 votes) 0 I got in a conversation with my mom and sister. Mom occasionally works in a furniture store. My sister has a job hosting in a restaurant inside of a hotel. During one of my sister's stories, she explained that she lied to a customer about how much room was left for the restaurant's capacity. The customer asked if they were booked for a saturday. My sister said she was so busy, that she didn't have time to look at the reservation list. So she lied, and told the customer they were completely booked on Saturday. I told her that she is beginning to lie too much, and it's going to bite her in the butt. She told me I'm naive, because I've never worked in retail/sales positions. She said people need to lie at work sometimes. It's impossible to tell the truth all the time, according to her. My mom was hesitant, but kind of agreed with her. She said in certain situations, people want what they can't have. So sometimes you have to stretch the truth in order to get more sales. I completely disagree with them both. I've had multiple jobs in the past, and I've never been in a position in life where I felt like lying was the only solution to a problem. I think that's a poor excuse, and it shows a lack of integrity/cowardice. Now they've got me curious, and I want to see what other people think. What's your stance on the matter? And feel free to share any examples from your own life. --- Currently playing: Witcher 3, Prey and Vermintide 2. <cite>JCvgluvr posted [p:913592480] in Is it ok t...
