Business Ethics

I picked these up from Jewish sources, so they come to you without any fear of anti-Semitism. However, should ‘jewish’ to disagree, that’s up to you.

In a primary school maths class the teacher asked: “Isaac, what is two percent of $150 000?”

Isaac replied: “I’m not interested, miss.”

A Jewish business owner was giving a talk on business ethics to his Rotary club.

“As you know, Rueben and I have a very successful haberdashery. We do good business, we trust each other and we keep our customers happy. But sometimes there are ethical questions that arise…

Imagine a lady comes into our shop, wanting several pieces of material. We show her our range; she makes her choices; we measure them out, cut them and wrap them up.

The price comes to $73.85, and she pulls a $100 note from her purse to pay for it.

But as I take the note, I see two $100 notes stuck together.

Now comes the ethical question: Should I tell Rueben?”
