Exercise 8

J. Gallo, the world's largest winery, just announced that it will stop selling its Thunderbir and Night Train Express wines in the Tenderloin, the skid row of San Francisco, for six months. Gallo took the action after meeting with an activist group called Safe and Sober Streets, which has asked grocers to remove the high-alcohol wine from the district, where citizens say drunks create a menace. One retailer in the district said, "If I don't sell this, I will have to close my doors and go home." What reasoning process is the retailer using?
A) Rationalization-if I don't do it, someone else will
B) The front-page-of-the-newspaper test
C) Virtue ethics
D) Religious standards
