Be Careful Of The Words You Say. Keep Them Soft And Sweet, Because You Never Know, From Day To Day, Which Ones You'll Have To Eat (Unknown Author – if you know the author please let me know)
Honesty in Business
When
doing shopping make sure you have completed your shopping and your trolley or
basket is complete before entering into the queue. Do not leave your trolley or
basket to "hold" your place while you go about your shopping and keep
going to and fro to fill your trolley, making others wait for you to complete
your shopping before they who have completed shopping can get to the cashier.
Respect
the rules of the store, if there is a fast queue for 10 items or less, don’t
try to push in with 11 or 13 or 15 items. Purchase your 10 items or less just
as the queue is labelled to be.
When
setting your prices, if the country in which you live does not have coins below
10 agarot or 10 cents, don’t mark any items with digits below 10. To do so
would be stealing from the customer. e.g. if you are accustomed to charge 9.97
for an item because you think that being below 10 customers will be more likely
to purchase the item, keep in mind, if there are no 7c, you are effectively
stealing 3c. Hence either charge 9.90 or 10 or make sure you have 3c to give as
change. Note you are actually accruing two Aveiras, 1) general theft ie theft
of money and 2) Geneivat HaDa'at – stealing someone's mind by making them think
they are getting something that they are not.
