Fred Sanquine is NYC produce broker. Ned Santini is a 19 year old college student who works for Sanquine from 4-7am each weekday before he attends classes at Pace University. Fred has instructed Ned on the proper Packing of Produce as follows:
"Look, put the bad and small cherries at the bottom. Do the same with the strawberries and blueberries. Put the best fruit on the top and hide the bad stuff at the bottom. This way I get top dollar on all that I sell."
Ned is uncomfortable abut the instructions but as he explains to his roommate, "It is not me doing it. Im just following orders - besides, I need the job."
Should Ned Just follow the instructions? Is the manner in which the fruit is packed unethical?
