Ethical Egoist
Well thanks to my business writing course, I’ve been able to pick up a couple fancy phrases—“ethical egoist” being one. To be an ethics egoist, one must take advantage of every opportunity and situation encountered despite ethical implications. If it’s beneficial to oneself, one must do it, and asks oneself, “Why not?”
Today, I have decided I am an ethical egoist.
Situation:
I went to sushi tonight, and the waitress didn’t read all sides of the sushi order, so she completely missed everything I ordered. Complete aside, but she was a ditz and her head was too big for her body or vice versa, however you want to look at it. Anyway, halfway through the meal, I realized I hadn’t received my order yet, and I brought it to her attention. She told me it was probably coming, and a couple minutes later she informed me that there were no more orders. I told her what I ordered, and she proclaims, “Oh, on the back!” =.=
I end up getting my order of sushi by the time everyone is FINISHED with theirs. The tab comes out, and since she forgot in the first place, she forgot to ring it up on the tab. I found myself not inclined to bring it up, so I got my order free. She shouldn’t have been such a dumb ass and she should pay more attention to detail. Plus, the service was so shitty; she didn’t deserve any extra tip.

also called opportunists.
yay free food!
hahaha nice free food is always the best
I think that is a bad thing to do! It’s one thing to not leave any tips b/c she did a lousy service, but it is another where she have to cough up the money to pay for the food that you ate.if I were you, I did go back and pay for what ever it costed.
eeeeexactly.one time i was at this hookah bar and for some reason, one of the waitresses was being an UBER bitch to me for no reason, but was polite to all my other female friends (she made me buy water when she’d give my friends water for free). i saw people leaving a spot we usually sit in and noticed they left her a $4 tip. so i said, fuck this bitch, scooted over and took her tip. free water in the end.
Wow… you’re such a terrible person for taking advantage of her. But what I’ll admit is that I’d do the same thing hahaha so that makes me a terrible person too.
Well yeah… I would do it. No remorse.
how unethical
