A bar and restaurant located directly next to the edge of the campus at Arizona State University is called "The Dash Inn." The Inn is a favorite stop for students and is generally very crowded in the afternoon and evenings. When a student uses a credit
card to pay his or her tab at the Dash Inn, the receipt for the student and the credit card data have recorded automatically at the top, "The Dash Inn Bookstore." Why do the receipts have this inscription at the top? What ethical problems do you see with this inscription?
The Dash Inn is attempting to help the students disguise from spouses and families their true spending habits. No one is likely to challenge receipts from a bookstore. But it does make the Dash Inn a participant, indeed the instigator, in an ethical breach of giving or allowing false impressions.
