What's with the Ethics questions? Is this your way of trying to get rid of us?

I've had this happen in the McDonalds drive through, damn right I kept the extra ten bucks.

I have on occasion noticed the discrepancy far later (after coming home) and went back to the store and insisted they take my money. If I wanted to steal, I would do it. I refuse to be some petty cheat who lives under the protection of the law, like chris the garbage can mastermind.

Yeah, the extra couple bucks isn't worth it to me knowing someone else is going to get their ass beat or fired for their mistake. Pointing out their mistake will teach them well enough that they should pay a little more attention to change issues, and I don't need the money so much that someone with a shitty minimum wage job needs to suffer over it. If the question asked is whether or not I WOULD ever keep the money, I guess I would, but I'd have to be pretty hard-up to do it. And by that I mean starving.

I think it would be a trip to seriously rob someone. However it's a matter of risk that makes it an interesting experience. Going "cha-ching" when someone makes a mistake or drops a dollar is the kind of boring petty garbage that is so exclusively American.

These are events which have occurred to me this week, and it's a damn sight better content-generator than Jonsey writing two-page missives against something that nobody could possibly discern what it is he's talking about since he provides no context.

No context at all. None.

Well, what did YOU do?

WDYD.

This is from Scruples, no? The wacky game of what-would you-do from Parker Bros.

Let's think this through. The cashier is responsible for any differences in his/her cash drawer. I guess it depends on how nice they were to me. if I am suddenly directly responsible for getting them written up and or possibly fired then it's a heavy decision I bear.

I voted to keep the six bucks tho. let this be a lesson to myoptic cashiers everywhere.

I took the $6.75.

I split the $40 between myself and my lady.

I do find the sunflower seeds annoying.

How very Zen of you.

I would bring the error to his attention. Before I started working at Arby's, I would have just split with the extra cash, but then I found out that those few dollars could cost the register operator their job. It sucks, but that's how it is, and for that reason I would not take the money.

OpenOffice is a Word processor. Should I have led with that?

Yeah -- corporations have determined that they will increase sales by a tenth of a percent if they ask you "Would you like any PASTARIESZZ?" when you go in for your coffee. THEY, their marketing department, are the assholes. However, it's not those people the rest of us normal humans have a problem with. I return the $6.25 because, as Worm said, if I am going to steal it will be on my terms.

As for the $40 - there is no way to know who that belongs to. Keep it and you have almost a quarter of the bill for a "Mr. Do!" knocked off.

I keep it, hope the clerk gets fired and uses that as motivation to do something with their life.

however the Pizza place me and Robb love here, once gave me a pie, and it was real busy. Normallly I pay and wait a little bit, but didn't this time. I got home and realized I never paid for the pie and went back and paid, thats cause I like them but rest of the worlds businesses can fuck off.

It's not what you steal/graft, it's who you do it to that's important..

That was paraphrased from 'Burglar' with Whoopie Goldberg.

REFERENCE

$6.75

At your grocery store, you pay for a $9.25 charge with a $10, and the guy misreads the total as $3.25, and so gives you $6.75 in change. Do you:
