I was with my mother the other day and went to the store. She had previously bought some cards and when she got home, she realized an extra card was stuck to the card she bought. She took it back to the store. The cashier was going to give her a refund but she told her she was never charged for it. The cashier was taken a back by it. Would you have done the same? Do you know people that wouldn't? Well, I was at Arbys and they made a mistake with my order, so they gave me a free turnover for the trouble. They gave me the wrong sandwich so I gave them the one back and kept my fries, when they brought me the correct sandiwch, they gave me an extra fries as well. I did give them back the extra sauce I did not want, but I kept the extra fries. They can give the sauce to someone else, but they would have thrown out the fries, otherwise I would have given them back as well. they probably intended for you to have both because, you are correct, in the restaurant business anything that has been served or given to the customer has to be thrown away so these extra fries??? you aren't willing to share those???? I did saved you sum, but they got eated. :( 'tis OK I got me some on Thursday

love the stories guys. It might seem like a little thing but I think the little things can make a HUGE impact. BTW....mom thinks you guys are crazy for the hot mom thing (oh and it was a birthday card lol)

Do you know people that wouldn't? a greeting card? probably not,,, the money it took for the gas to make another round trip to return it would probably be more than the card was worth,,, so I personally wouldnt find it worth it,,,

A cashier gave me change for a 20 and I had only given her a 10, so I told her she made a mistake. I also just recently returned a man's wallet that I found.

I've done it before, don't see why I wouldn't again. Of course I know people that wouldn't...Honesty is a dying breed; sure, we all say we value it, but my experience has shown me that very few of you really do. pity that's your experience. I find most quite honest and particularly respectful regarding the belongings of others, and money. I think we all know that cashiers and tellers who come up short can lose their jobs. No one wants to contribute to someone else's job loss I think.

Yes I have done it many times. If I am over charged I march right back and I do the same thing when undercharged. My conscience is worth more to me than a few bucks.

Ive done that too, 10 is alot to be missing from a drawer and if I dont live that far (sorry, but vehicle fuel isnt cheap and is a serious consideration for me),, Id return it too Ive returned LARGE amounts (in the hundreds) to cashiers that miscounted or misread,,,,Ive also returned purses, wallets, etc,, that I have found in stores...

So this cashier thing is very disturbing to me, because I wanted to give them $10 back which they overpaid me with (it happened in three separate incidents in a span of 35 years) and the cashiers insisted they did not make a mistake, and the voices started to rise, because I inisted that they gave me too much, and then people in the line up started to yell "get on with it, boy", or something, and eventually we were shouting expletives at the tops of our lungs, and the manager came out, and I wound up being blocked from ever going back to two of these three stores.

I also just recently returned a man's wallet that I found. I don't return men's wallets, only ladies'. The reason is that I only keep finding ladies' wallets. (Three times. The first I kept (I was 18) and the other two I returned at my ages of 52 and 55, respectively.) However, I lost my vallet once, and a man called me and returned it. I was young and poor, and was really impressed, because it happened not too long after I did not return the first wallet I found. I also got a backpack returned, recently, with $35 in cash, an ipod and a cell in it. I lost cash twice which was not returned. Plus once I lost $175 US., at a cash exchange place at Amsterdam Airport in 1981, a month before my dad died, and I was flying back from Canada to Hungary to see him alive. I put the cash on the counter, and turned around and left after I did some business with the cashier. I almost even missed my plane for I had to go back to the cashier when I realized that I had left it there, from the boarding gate waiting room. A buddy of mine found a new Canadian passport, made out to a young, seventeen-year-old Greek feller in Toronto, and I gave it to the next cop I saw (my friend did not, because he was insane at the time.)
