Unethical business practices have no place in this or any industry. It is a travesty when it happens. I am proud of the fact that in Texas such behavior is still considered unacceptable and is not as common as it is in many other parts of the world or even certain places in America. Corruption has a cost that owners and investors ultimately have to bear and which ends up adding costs for everyone. As a business owner and investor, if someone I am paying ever does such things I want to know about it so I can immediately stop paying them. Vendors have to be accountable too. If they all said "no" to unethical requests, there wouldn't be as many. If you do get propositioned, let owner of the company know. If they are the offender or don't care, consider not doing business with them, or at least let them know what they are paying for the privilege.
