Sometimes, the rules you have to respect for your job may have ethical problems. Did you violated one of these rules ?

Supermarket employee here. I was aware about a system error of some sort where a type of frozen fish had a price of literally one cent per kg. (not providing any more details here, just in case). We had an asshole manager and lots of rather poor, old folks in the area that barely scraped by, like "please put this bread back because I am three pennies short and can't afford it" poor.

Instead of fixing the error, I told these customers to go buy that one brand of fish and STFU about it to anyone else. Our manager was the type of "comic villain" greedy asshole who would personally set expired food on fire rather than giving it to a charity, so I am not feeling sorry in the slightest. He once yelled at a coworker (in front of customers, no less) for suggesting that we could reduce the price on a bunch of wares that were damaged during transport instead of outright tossing them away.

I no longer work in that store, but not because of this thing (they never found out). I just couldn't stand that asshole manager anymore and switched jobs after getting a better offer elsewhere.
