True, I just wouldn't want that on my heart though. I'm a worry wart, and I need to feel like I at least tried to do the right thing. Doing the right thing is important to me and for me, that would have been returning the money to the store. That transaction was between Wal-Mart and the customer. If I can't give it back to the customer, then it goes back to Wal-Mart. Now, if I hand it to a manager and they pocket it--- that's on them and their God to deal with. I feel like I did my part. Who knows, that customer might run back in looking for their money.
It happened to me before, and my money (bout $10) was waiting right at the self checkout help kiosk when I came back to check. I showed my reciept for the change and they gave it back!
I know most folks don't think like that and that's alright. But I certainly appreciate it when they do--and I try to do the same whenever I'm in that position. I guess I'm just weird like that. I don't expect the OP to go back, most people in this thread have said they wouldn't-- but I can only speak for myself and what I would do.
Different strokes!
