Question 2. Scenario Question (approximately 400-500 words)

Julie has just left Year 12 and has taken a job at her local supermarket. The supermarket is owned by a publicly-listed company but it is managed by Julie’s Aunt Molly. Julie’s best friend, Jake, also works at the store. Jake takes as many shifts as he can get so he can save to go to university and study law. In fact, Jake will have sav ed enough money in another three months and will be leaving the store then. The supermarket decides to introduce self-scanning at half the checkouts in the store. Aunt Molly tells the employees that the supermarket expects to lose between 2% and 5% of all purchases to fraud (people not scanning all items) but that the store will still makeaprofit by replacing cashiers with machines. Julie’s friend Jake is put in charge of the new self-scanning checkouts. He is very good at this job, and has kept stick loss to below 2% by watching every customer scan their items. However, Jake confides in Julie that he does sometimes look the other way when people skip scanning items - for instance, if a low income family do not scan a box of nappies.
What should Julie do?
