Would you have kept it?

I just got home from Wendy's drive-thru. Paid $10 for a $7.93 meal. Got $12.07 in change.

Now, I know the girl working the register shouldn't lose money off her not-very-lucrative paycheck. The losers will be a major corporation who sees millions as pocket change. Sure, there's always a chance of the small time manager fixing her paycheck to account for her gaffe. But, ultimately, it's money that shouldn't be mine, because I didn't earn it.

I thought about that for a split second. I wound up returning the $10 bill I got with my change. Would you have?

Apparently, the girl thought I gave her a $20 bill. She sheepishly said thanks for the honesty.

 

And then felt bad for spitting in your burger.

 

Fixed.

 

Yeah. Give it back. Honesty isn't hard, but dishonesty is.

 

If I noticed it right then I would have given it back, but I probably wouldn't have gone back if I had noticed it at home. But I'm very lazy so it's difficult to judge if I'm dishonest or just slothful.

 

They did take a good while to get me my food.....

 

I'd check the mayo.....

 

I've pointed out errors in my favor on restaurant checks. But a couple months ago I realized when I got to the car that I forgot to scan the clothing detergent at the grocery store but didn't do anything about it because it would be too much of a hassle. Hey, it was raining.

 

My mom returned some money to Subway when they were incorrect and they were screaming about how there aren't any honest people left and it's so refreshing to see honest people in this world. My mom was flattered.

 

That was wholly unnecessary, you sick bastard.

Now the bigger question is who was the burger jockey?

 

That wasn't mayo, Charlie Brown.
