If you own a restaurant or bar, and you have rooms or large tables in your place, which is frequented by well paying guests. Here's the catch
- They love to gamble
Will you let them?
ang business application po ninyo ay restorant, hindi pekwaan, huwag ninyo haluan ng kalokohan ang business dahil hindi na para sa tao ito, dahil ang tawag sa ganito ay monkey business, he, he, he, o sa India, dinidyos yan ha.
Explain the line "o sa India, dinidyos yan ha." - I am confused on what you are trying to say here.
Now, to better explain what I am trying to imply here:
- You own the restaurant, you do not promote nor is your business gambling. But let's say you have some customers (20 of them, each one with cash) and they are willing to spend Php 500 in food and drinks per person everytime they go to your place.
Over time, they become your friends, and they are your strong customers.
- If you do not agree to what they are doing, then you might as well tell them, but you will lose Php 10,000 everytime they would have gone to your place.
- Let's make this more interesting, without them, you only earn Php 2,500. Your break even is Php 5,000
It is something you discourage, yes. But let's say you are in a situation where you need to choose between closing your business or letting them go on with their vice in your place, what would you do?
It is an interesting moral dilemma, I want you to rethink this.
Why am I asking? Consider this a challenge to your intellect and morals. How strong are your morals? Is it even morally wrong to allow gambling compared to putting up a gambling business.
Is gambling only moral if you can afford it?
Doesn't gambling happen everywhere? Even at many houses? Ever heard of poker nights? People would bet money.
What if main intention is not to gamble, but to just spend time with friends? What if their bets range between Php 50 to Php 500 each? Would it change your stance?
Do you strictly adhere to no gambling or do you have certain exceptions?
Have you gambled? If you have, and yet do not allow others to gamble, wouldn't you be called a hypocrite?
...
Let's try to twist each other's mind even further
- The gamblers are certain government officials who could give you more trouble than its worth if you do not let them play
Now, the question is, are your morals strong enough to withstand the challenge of stopping them? Are there loopholes that would not make gambling morally wrong?
