Task: Real-Life Creative Problem Solving
Come up with an original and creative solution for the following real-world problem:
Becky is a college student who works part-time at Mark's Pizzeria. Mark, the owner of the restaurant, has treated Becky very well. He gave her a job that she needs to help pay her rent when no other business would employ her because she was arrested for shoplifting three years ago. Mark also lets Becky work around her school schedule, and has asked if she wants to be a shift manager in the summers. Becky's roommate Jim also works at the pizzeria, but Jim has been causing a lot of problems at work. He always avoids doing his job, treats customers rudely, and makes a lot of mistakes with orders. Jim recently began stealing food from the pizzeria. Two days ago the pizzeria was short- staffed, so Jim and Becky were the only employees left at closing time. Jim made 10 extra pizzas and took them home to a party he was hosting without paying for them. Becky feels like she needs to do something about Jim's behavior. However, Becky is hesitant to tell Mark about Jim because Jim is a good friend to Becky. Becky also needs Jim to have a job so he can pay his portion of their rent. Becky does not know what to do..

Response: Becky could try to get another friend to apply to the pizzaria since they are somewhat short staffed, the competition and increased amount of people being around could entice Jim to work harder for feel of scarcity of loosing job and he could also be less comfortable stealing if there are people he is not friendly with around that he knows he cant get away with it.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should definitely tell Mark about what Jim is doing. However, I think that she needs to do it in a friendly way because Jim is a good friend to her. I think that Becky should tell Mark that on the night it was just the two of them working, that someone that was working stole 10 boxes of pizza. This way, Mark knows what Jim did, but Becky never actually said Jim's name. She essentially just have Mark an anonymous tip.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: becky needs to tell mark so he can deal with jim appropriately. she is not the owner and has little power over jim, so leaving it up to mark is best.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: One thing becky could do is go to Jim personally and tell him that you saw him steal the pizzas and were wondering if he needs any help financially to pay for food, then that way you are looking out for a friend, then later tell him that if he does it again she will have to tell the boss and he could loose his job to force him to stop stealing.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky can talk to Jim after the issue is resolved. At the moment, she needs to cover for the 10 extra pizzas Jim made. Becky could come up with a story that is sympathetic that Mark could understand such as... "Near the closing shift, a homeless family came in and really needed food. I didn't have the heart in me to say no them as I came from a similar background. I wanted to pass it forward since my circumstances are much better now. That is why I gave them extra Pizza, Mark. I really do apologize but it is not in my nature to turn down people needing help. I wanted to tell you immediately since what I did involves your establishment. I will take repercussions if necessary."
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Since Becky and Jim live together, Becky should start making the same actions towards Jim as Jim does to the restaurant. If Jim steals, Becky steals from him. If Jim is rude, Becky is rude to him. Once this is established, Becky should make it clear that these actions will continue for as long as Jim keeps doing it at work.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: She should talk to Jim and tell him to come forward himself because it is better to admit a mistake than get caught having made one. She could tell Jim to say to the manager that he knows he hasn't been at the top of his game and has been taking advantage of the opportunity he has been given but has now realized he should apologize, ask for forgiveness and agree to watched at work and reported to the manager about every night to make sure he stays on top of his work. Instead, she herself could go to the manager and ask to not be put on shifts with him any longer because you feel as though it affects the companies effectiveness. Which would appeal to most managerial staff.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Sit down and talk to Jim about his behavior and discuss the possible consequences of his actions. Then talk to the manager about what has been happening and see if the management can work something out.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: instead of stealing pizzas to just eat they should set up a side business at their apartment. Set it up on grub hub and sell pizza to make enough money and since its their own business they'll be more invested in how it works.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: I think that Becky should report Jim for the crime he is committing. In addition, she should begin looking for another roommate online since it is not beneficial to be associated with Jim. This could cause problems with going to jail again or even being accused of something that she did not commit. Furthermore, I think she should have a discussion with Jim about her plan of action and resort to looking for ways to better her friendships and life.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky needs to give Jim an ultimatum.  Straighten up, or tell Mark. If he doesn‚Äôt, mark could be the new roomate
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should change the codes and lock the supplies away and tell Jim he has to earn the codes by doing tasks and if we doesn't complete them he won't be apart of the 'pay raise' that is about to happen and it encourages positive reinforcement in Jim along with making him more competitive
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Talk to Jim first about his behavior at work so that there is no issue between friends. And if the behavior continues tell the manager that there is repetitive behavior that Jim does not want to correct.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Make it a point to Jim of her concerns and why she feels those concerns. If that doesn't work approach Mark and say that Jim needs to be looked after more, rather than outright telling on him.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: If Jim's behavior is bothering her, Becky needs to confront him about it. If he won't change, she could tell Mark to watch over sometimes to make sure he is acting appropriately, and maybe that will convince him. If not, Becky should find a different roommate.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky should check the camera footage to back up her claim. She should then go to her boss and tell him what happened, and she needs to mention her concerns with exposing Jim and how it will effect her. Once Jim is fired, Becky should start her own business and hire Jim. If Jim continues to steal she can kick him out because she will now have enough money from her Pizza job and her own business.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should speak up for whats right.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky should suggest to Mark to set up cameras in the shop for extra security. This way Becky is not outright telling Mark that Jim is stilling but will alert Mark that something could be going on and to check the cameras to see.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: I believe that a good solution to the problem would be Becky talking to Jim before she says anything to the manager Mark. By doing this she can ask him what prompts him to act the way that he does. By talking it out with Jim, it can resolve the problems that are being performed by him. Possibly he can come to a realization that what he is doing isn't right and will stop doing what he is doing. If this dosing work out, then I believe that she should tell Mark to give him warning that he will get fired of he continues these bad actions.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky should tell the boss anonymously. It is more important that the boss is aware of what is going on. If Becky keeps it anonymous, their friendship most likely won't be ruined.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: I would say the first thing that Becky should do is just let Mark know of what is going on. The goal would be to let him be aware of Jim's actions, but to also express caution with firing him due to Becky's situation and ask Mark to not show signs that she has told him about Jim because that might aggress the situation from Jim to Becky and might make things worse. After this interaction, try to get Mark to watch over Jim slightly and ask Mark to talk about Jim's behaviors with him respectfully, with an open minded attitude, and not throw around threats of firing him or anything like that. The end result, due to proper communication and appropriate manners on both Mark and Becky's side is that Jim and Mark find a common ground (i.e. Jim can take one free pizza per week).
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky could have a mature conversation with Jim about his behavior as a coworker first; but if his behavior persists, she should lightly inform Mark that Jim has been violating some rules and he should be given a couple warnings before being fired right away.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky needs to talk to her boss about Jim's behavior. She needs to realize that this job is crucial for her right now because she needs the money. She needs to speak up about the situation so her boss doesn't come questioning because knowing Jim he could try and pin it on her. Or she could talk to her boss in private and tell him to check the cameras and maybe throw in that she doesn't want Jim know she told on him.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should report Jim's behavior to her boss just as it has been laid out here. Becky can discuss how Jim has unlawfully taken store materials, but needs to remain employed to pay his portion of the rent. Becky can ask Mark to address Jim and create a written agreement that will lay out the terms of termination if x,y,z, behaviors continue.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: A creative way to solve this problem is to make a pizza and write in sauce the amount in money he owes for the pizzas. Then, on the inside of the box, write that Jim needs to step up or else Becky is going to drop him as a friend and a roommate.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Becky should confront Jim about his wrong doings and tell him that she thinks it is a problem. Becky could offer help to Jim financially for maybe a month until Jim cleans up his act and starts acting right.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Talk to Jim and enforce strict boundaries about his behavior. For example, if he continues his actions talk to Mark. I do not see any other solutions except having a serious conversation with Jim.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: I would tell Mark and then arrange a way to pay back the money that was lost
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: First Becky needs to have a chat with Jim about what he been up to. She needs to say that it is wrong and he needs to come clean. She should also suggest that he quit and pay for the fees and at the same time apoligizing to mark. Jim then needs to get a job within the week. He will not have a hard time finding a job since he quit and was not fired. Becky is a friend and as a friend needs to tell Jim what he is doing is wrong.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should tell mark about what jim did but mark shouldn't fire jim right away. He should give him a second chance to redeem himself just like he gave becky a second chance, and if he doesn't change his behavior, then jim should be fired and becky shouldn't feel any guilt. If becky felt like it, she could work overtime to cover jim's portion of the rent.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Tell their boss then confront Jim about his problem.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: confront jim at home
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: talk to jim about how he cant take food from the company without paying
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: I would have Becky talk to Jim first about his behavior and tell him to clean up his act. Tell him that if you work well and with honesty, you can get more opportunities. If he does not clean up his act in a week, she has to turn to the manager. That would be a group meeting with the three of them. Becky can show Jim what Mark expects, and help him out too.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky needs to worry about herself here. She can tell Mark about Jim but can also tell him the money problems she is having. Mark seems like a very understanding person and can make alternative decisions like maybe giving Jim a different job at the pizzeria so he can earn money without having the ability to steal.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky should either tell her boss Mark about her roommate Jim and all of the problems he has been causing or kick Jim out of her apartment. Either option would best suit Becky but if Jim stays at the apartment she must ensure that he pays up on his rent costs.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Leave a note telling Jim that an anonymous figure knows he's stealing.
Leave a note pretending to be the boss saying that he needs to go and talk to him, ultimately ratting himself out.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky needs to search for a third roommate. If she is willing to share her room in the apartment with another person, this will help with the funds she needs. This way, Jim can be fired (hopefully learn his lesson) and they can have enough rent money until Jim can find another job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky should talk to Jim first and express to him how his actions can cause him to lose his job. She can tell him that he needs to change his behavior or else Mark might fire him. She can also tell him that there is surveillance and he needs to be more careful so that he isn't caught. This allows Becky to avoid creating problems with Jim while also not risking reporting him to Mark.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: A possible solution would be to talk to Jim. He is her friend so they have enough trust to have a hard conversation like this. Becky will try to find out why is Jim behaving this way, and will encourage him to stop stealing, start working and treating customers nicely. If he does not do this the she could talk to her boss. She could ask him to talk to Jim and encourage him to be better, but not fire him because he needs the job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should work with Mark and have Mark be the one to fire Jim. They should make an environment that Jim cannot work in, like scheduling shifts during his class and even on special days he has. Becky can say she does not want to quit because she has a higher position but that Jim should do it because there are other places that are hiring.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky needs to tell her boss, she should be responsible
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: First, Becky should talk to Jim and tell him what he's doing is wrong. If Jim continues to do things then she should tell her boss anonymously and have him have a conversation with Jim.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Talk to management and show how valuable of an employee you are to show you are deserving of a raise and to be seen as an important employee.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: I would say something to Jim about his behavior and give him a chance to explain why he is portraying himself this way. By the nature of how this conversation goes, and his actions later, will determine what I do. Mark is great man to me so I will make sure that the pizza's are paid for in some way shape or form. Whether it be from my own paycheck or Jim pays for it. The pizza's must be paid for. Regarding Jim's actions, he needs a reality check and in order to be a good friend to me, I would personally need someone to respect the position I am in. Mark has been incredibly kind to me and I would prefer you not treat his business this way.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Use a hidden camera or call Mark in to the store for "help" then catches Jim.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: I think Becky should talk to Jim before going to Mark. She should talk to him and be like ‚ÄúYou need to work to pay your rent, so if you loose your job you can find somewhere else to live.‚Äù
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky can point of the fact of missing ingredients on a busier day when her and Jim are not the only ones working. This could raise the managers awareness of the issue, and also allow for Jim to realize someone is on to him which might make him stop.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should first ask Jim why he is doing what he is doing. His behaviors shouldn't be accepted at a job and maybe there is some other problem fueling his behavior. She should then ask Mark if he has noticed anything different about Jim. She should also clarify Mark's policies about employees taking home food, not being productive, etc. If Jim's behaviors continue she should tell Mark what is going on. She seems to be a very good worker who really needs the job so she shouldn't be put into a situation where she may get fired. Ask Mark that if he decides to talk to Jim keep who told him anonymous or say a customer complained.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Tell Jim that Mark has been noticing a shortage in supplies and that he is going to fire whoever is responsible. Tell Jim that Mark has also noticed that he is not a great employee and he is going to punish him if he keeps up the bad behavior. Give Jim the warning before Mark even notices. That way, Jim will lay off and be able to keep his job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should make up a lie and say that Mark is gonna be checking in on the pizzeria, its inventory, and sales hence implying that Mark will find out that Jim has been taking extra pizzas home for himself without paying. While it may not  be true that Mark is visiting the pizzeria, it will most likely deter Jim.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky could set up an anonymous tip to her boss and tell them to look into Jim and what he does during work. He would get caught but he wouldn't know that Becky was the one that told her boss. She could tell Jim to get another job as well and tell him to learn from her mistakes.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should hint to Jim about getting a new job by offering some that sound more appealing. She can start by being kind about it, but if he continually shoots down her ideas, then she should lightly bring up the facts that he is stealing from the company. She can hint at the fact that Mark may already know and their is a potential that Jim may be fired, and that might make him more likely to try and go find a new job on his own. With this outcome, Jim would still have a job to pay for rent, but there would be no bad blood between him and Becky.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: becky needs to confront jim and becky should call Jims job and tell his manager he is a bad employee
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: becky could adress the sitation first with jim
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky can personally talk to Jim about this serious mistake at first. If Jim would like to stop it and keep working in the shop, the problem will be solved. If Jim wants to keep stealing pizzas, Becky should just report this behavior to Mark and find another house to rent because as a friend, just letting Jim continually make mistakes is not right either. If Becky still wants to live with Jim and doesn't want to keep hurting the good-heart Mark, Becky can just tell Jim to find another job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should line up a job for Jim that pays him the same or more without it being a job that he can steal from. Something like a desk job or working at a gym. This will allow him to pay his portion without compromising their friendship while also saving the pizza shop.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky explains to Jim that he has put her in an awkward situation, depending on her loyalty as a friend, and expecting him to pay his fair share, while obviously taking advantage of a kind boss. Explain that she will have to do inventory at a certain point in time, where these discrepancies will come up, and it may be obvious that it was him. Explain that in order for you to help him, he will need to reimburse for the missing items at the pizzeria, or you may have to find a new roommate immediately; (because Jim's behavior will increasingly get worse, and he will keep expecting Becky to cover for him).
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: If I was Becky I would learn hypnotism and hypnotize Mark into being okay with Jim doing this stuff. Not change anything about Mark or how he acts, just tell him that he is okay with what Jim does. Then, Mark is fine, Jim doesn't get in trouble, and everybody is happy.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Becky should tell Mark about the pizza because there is a possibility they would assume she is the one that stole it. When she talks to Mark she should let it be known that Jim deserves a second chance like Becky herself that way Jim isn't fired
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Have Mark create a supply list so that each item is accounted for
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should talk directly to Jim about the situation and see if things improve that way. If things do not, then Becky should tell Mark but also explain her hesitant and see if there is a way to work around it.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky can tell Mark to pay more attention to the profit of the restaurant. After that Becky can tell Jim that Mark will be more careful about the money and products in the restaurant and he doesn't want to lose the job, he needs to change his behavior.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: becky could suggest a general policy about employee discounts/free items for everyone that way jim doesn't feel targeted. the pizzeria could also partner with a food pantry if food scarcity is an issue with some workers.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Becky should tell Jim to get his life together and that if she doesn't she will have to tell the boss. Being too nice will cause people to step on you and being too strict will cause you to have enemies. She needs to play both parts.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: becky should tell jim to get a job
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky should talk to Jim and say that she will report him to Mark if he does not stop stealing.  She should make a deal to buy pizza for them once every week from work if he stops stealing and works harder.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Create a schedule were Jim doesn't close and put him with good employees who will pick up his slack.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky better tell mark.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky should tell Jim that she wants another roommate so that they can have a little extra spending money. Becky should then recruit a friend to psych Jim out by behaving exactly like him, including dressing, speaking, and mirroring his actions. Becky should repeatedly insist that she has no idea what Jim is talking about when he brings up these concerns. Eventually Jim will want to leave the apartment. Then, once Jim is out, she can anonymously tell Mark that Jim was stealing pizza and it will not hurt her ability to pay rent.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Although jim is becky's good friend in this circumstance she needs to prioritize herself. She can tell mark about the situation and tell jim she had to but express it in song, because although it will make jim mad maybe singing will help the situation?
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: have a conversation with mark, he sound forgiving
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky can talk to both Jim and Mark and let Mark handle it because it is his business.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Just tell mark about what happen and all the background info. Mark should be able to make a decision
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: I think Becky should tell mark that Jim is stealing and then help him find a new job
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should talk to Jim and tell him that he can not do what he is doing. She needs to be honest with him and let him know what he is doing isn't right. She may need to threaten to tell the manager in order to get him to stop.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should first discuss the issue with Jim, and ask Jim to talk to Mark about the issue. Becky should not interfere directly, but can also hint to Mark that there is a problem going on without becoming too involved.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky should send in job applications for Jim that she thinks would be a good fit for him, and when one asks for an interview, she should tell him about this amazing opportunity that he'd be a fool to pass up.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: tell mark because your job is more important than his neglagence
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky should communicate with Jim that she heard that mark is implementing new rules and might start checking the cameras more. she might want to say that mark had caught her doing something wrong and punished her so Jim should be careful.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should directly intervene with Jim's behavior. While this could be deemed unethical, Becky should incentivize their rent. If Becky tells Jim that he could risk losing his job, thus losing the necessary income for rent, it is more likely that Jim will abandon his past behaviors. Jim needs to be aware of the consequences of his actions.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: becky should try to do things with with Jim to get him in a better mood or suggest he gets a new job
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: She should tell the boss about Jim. I understand he is friend, but what's wrong is wrong.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Becky should talk to Jim or tell him that he can not live with her if he does not change.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: First, Becky should confront Jim and tell him that the way he is acting at work is unacceptable. He is stealing from work and there are consequences to that. Becky has firsthand experiences with the consequences of shop lifting so she should almost scare Jim of what could happen as a result of continuing stealing. If the scaring tactic doesn't work, Becky will have no other choice than to report Jim
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should contact her manager and give a general explination on why she thinks installing cameras in the work place is important. She could also express how she feels they should start doing inventory to sales comparisons. This will provide solutions for her manager to find out on his own without becky flat out telling on Jim
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: I think becky should talk to Jim and see what's going on before she goes and tells her boss, If he is struggling with something maybe she can help him get back on track. I would also have her mention something to Mark about being a lil easy on Jim especially if he might be going through something.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should talk to Jim and if that fails, give him an ultimatum. If he fails to succeed she should find another roommate and tell her boss if it makes her uncomfortable.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: have Becky tell the manager about the problem, and suggest ways that Jim can improve instead of firing him immediately.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Tell Mark that an alien came into the pizza shop last night and made you and Jim make 10 pizzas for it so it could take back to its planet.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: I would have Becky lay it out straight to Jim after doing an initial roommate search to show Jim that if he does not shape up, he is replaceable.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: I would pay for the pizza's myself, regardless of my financial condition unless I had so little money that it would immediately jeopardize my ability to pay rent and get food. After that I would confront my good friend Jim, and because he is my good friend hopefully he could correct his irresponsible behavior at least at our job, and pay me back for the pizzas. I wouldn't tell the owner unless Jim insisted upon doing all that stuff even after these actions, but then I would and I would probably find a new living situation.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky should talk to Jim first before Mark about the situation
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Explain the situation to Jim, while also taking the shift manager job. If Jim truly is a good friend, then he will understand that his actions are causing his friend to become stressed, thus making him want to fix his actions. However, if that does not work, Becky can minimize Jims hours while still having him make enough money to pay rent. Everyone has the opportunity to win. Jim is given the opportunity to fix his act, Mark can have a bad employee not work nearly as much without having to hire another person, and Becky does not have to diminish her relationship with either person.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky needs to have a sit-down conversation with Jim to express to him that what he is doing is serious and explain how badly she needs the job. If Jim cared about Becky he would stop what he is doing and find a new job while working so they won't run into any other issues. Becky could also tell her boss and they could just take the pizza costs out of his pay check.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: The first thing Becky should do is have a casual conversation with Jim. Since they are friends she should first address the problem with him before going to her boss. Give him a chance to change his behaviors. Becky should tell him how his actions are effecting her and making her feel, rather then blame him and show him anger. If jim does not acknowledge her feelings, then she should tell her boss, but keep her name anonymous
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: becky can try to look for other apartments that she can pay for with her pizza job and not turn in Jim until she has secured somewhere else to live.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky most likely is going to bite her tongue AND NOT TELL IN ORDER FOR HER ROOMATE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP HIS JOB.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: keep it a secret, blackmail Jim, devise a way to get Jim caught by superiors,
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 41

Response: Becky could suggest that Jim's actions made her uncomfortable in terms of workplace integrity, and suggest that he take action to either tell the managers of his own wrongdoing, or cease unethical actions in this environment.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky should create a log of this behavior so Jim cannot pin the blame on her. She could then address Jim about her worries; if he was actually a good friend, he would take that into consideration. In the case that he doesn't improve, she should tell Mark and seek other housing accommodations.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 34

Response: Becky would need to list her priorities and decide whether the job or Jim's is more important. Not only does Jim's stealing get him in trouble if caught, but Becky will also have a roommate who can't pay rent because he will lose his job. If she shows loyalty to her job, then her boss might even give her a raise. In the end, she can always get a new roommate too but she needs this job and Jim shouldn't ruin that.

Response: Becky can take pictures of the party Jim hosted and all of the unpaid pizzas, and print them out, and anonymously leave them in Marks office. This would cause Mark to confront Jim about all of the unpaid pizza, and leaves Becky's name out of it. That way, Becky and Jim's friendship remains in tact, and so does her loyalty to Mark. Jim needs to be self sufficient and just find another job.

Response: I think Becky should begin by talking to Jim and tell him the issue at hand and how he needs to actually pay for things, and not steal them. If that does not work, then she should go to her boss and tell him what is going on and also tell him that if he fires Jim, then she will struggle even more with rent.

Response: Though not easy to do, Becky could sit Jim down and tell her the position she is in (this can lead to empathy by Jim). Further, she can give him two outcomes depending on how he chooses to react; she can report Jim to Mark for stealing if he does not get his act together, or she can keep quiet if he agrees not to do this gain. She should not stop him on the way to the party because he is then put in a pressured situation right on the spot, but she should address it soon after so it will not happen again without consequences.

Response: Becky could make a short film about how shoplifting affected her life and ability to get a job, and show it to Jim in hopes that he will see how stealing not only affects others but could affect him.

Response: One creative solution is for Becky to talk to Jim about his behavior. Ask he why he is doing this and why he is acting like this. Becky can point out the rude to customers and his job attitude. If nothing is done, then take it up with Mark.

Response: Instead of telling on Jim and possibly ruining her relationship with him, Becky suggests making food for Jim the next time he has a party, so he does not have to steal from the pizzeria. After he agrees, she shares her story about shoplifting and how it really gave her a hard time finding a new job and that's something she wouldn't want anyone else to go through. And that although Jim did not get caught this time she is sorry, but she would have to tell Mark if it happened again. Jim agrees not to steal again and would be glad to taste Becky's cooking. He then includes that he will try to clean up his act altogether.

Response: Talk to Jim about his behavior and explain the ethical conflict you feel.

Response: Becky can let Mark know that someone on their staff is stealing and not doing their job. She does not have to names any names to preserve their friendship with Jim. Mark can then have a staff meeting letting everyone know that if this stealing and not doing job thing continues security cameras will be installed at all parts of the pizzeria

Response: Becky needs to tell Mark about Jim's actions. Mark needs to come up with another way that he found out, that way Jim can't blame Becky. Mark needs to say that security camera's show him stealing, etc.

Response: Becky should tell the manager after Jim looks for a job that suits him. Tell Jim what he is doing wrong before telling the manger, so he doesn't go jobless while trying to pay for the rent. Have Jim look at a well-paid job that doesn't require too much effort and it avoids talking to customers. After he finds the job, Becky should tell the manager just in case if he gets fired.

Response: Becky is supposed to first warn and tell Jim that if Jim is still doing this, she does not allow him to stay the home anymore. And she can use her self experience that the Bose treats her well because she knew her mistakes and never did it to tell Jim.

Response: Start a party or catering service at the pizzeria, order pizzas and buy them in bulk for a party you may be starting. Jim could deliver to those parties and take payment, Jim could also cater for the party and ask for tips. This way he could make money and perhaps pay rent.

Response: I would talk to Jim separately first and say that she does not want to snitch but it it morally wrong a illegal to do what he is doing.  Then if he does not listen, tell the boss
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 25

Response: Becky needs to improve Jim's attitude toward customers and working at pizzeria. They are getting payed for working at pizzeria, but Jim showed disappointing attitude by being lazy and rude. So, Becky should tell Jim not to be rude and work hard at the first time. If he doesn't follow the working rules, Becky should tell Mark about his attitude and behavior right away as a manager. Because his behavior is causing massive damage and loss to Mark that helped Becky to work at pizzeria.

Response: Becky has to worry about herself first rather than worrying about others. She should tell Mark about Jim and there may be a possibility where this will benefit her, whether if it's a raise or a promotion.

Response: Take pictures of the lost pizzas as evidence and send them to a friend that is basically a stranger to Jim. Ask that friend to contact Jim as a friend of Mark that accidentally witnessed his behavior and will send these photos to Mark if this happens again.

Response: Becky has two good options to fix the problem with Jim. She can try to find Jim a higher paying job with other incentives to protect her situation with Mark. To make Jim more inclined to perform better at Mark's, Becky can try inspire a friendship between Jim & Mark to cause either a deal between them in regards to free food, or to simply cause Jim to work with more integrity.
