moral dilemma

As a suit salesman I am surrounded by opportunities to test my morality . I am in constant contact with large sums of money , including nightly deposits to the bank temptation to be morally amiss is presented to me almost on a daily basis . I am often times frightened by the authority given to me to always to the right thing . When I first received this job I had to go through extensive training before I was permitted to be in charge of the deposits , and being given the key to the safe and the

My employer is a small business with average revenue of renting 300 tuxes a month , in the off seasons , not including prom and the wedding month of June .
