When you expect fried chicken and find $4,500 free cash instead

You must live in a Pollyanna world. There are way more people that would've just kept driving and kept the cash as opposed to the honest folks that do the right thing and bring the money back to the store. The thing that apparently rubbed the guy the wrong way is apparently when he brought the money back the manager wasn't appreciative and had the attitude like you do that's "what he was supposed to do".

I don't really care what other people would do. Celebrating what should be a routine act is ridiculous and someone begging to be recognized is pathetic

Maybe we should hold people to a higher standard rather than accepting the minimum

Didn't watch the video. While I do think asking for a cash reward after receiving a $100 GC is a bit much, I would probably want an apology if the manager had gotten snooty too. He was the dumbazz that almost let $4500 walk out of the door. I agree that returning the money is the no-brainer right thing to do but being grateful that YOUR Eff up wasn't as bad as it could have been is also the right the to do.

Are acts like these really "good deeds"? Keeping the money shouldn't be a consideration for any decent person.

This guy needs to be rewarded for doing what he is supposed to do? They ought to tell him to pound sand

Well, some people expect to be paid when they do good, while others are good for nothing.

so the "good samaritan" says something like "what would have happened if I didn't come in and give you the money" and he gets mad when the manager says that they'd have called the authorities?

Let's discuss this for a minute though seriously. Would this technically be considered theft since the guy was HANDED the money, regardless of whether it was an accident or not? I mean really if the guy had driven home and just kept it would that have REALLY been a crime?

The sad thing is that was probably the same manager who put the money in the box in the first place and left it sitting there to be given away. I'd have given the guy whatever he wanted in food and been really damn appreciative of him returning the money. I wouldn't have acted like a douche about it.

This guy isn't a thief, but he'd be in possession of stolen money. The thief would be the person who chose to give it to him. If I was a manager, I would assume that the employee who gave it to the man in the car is a thief, and I would also assume that the person in the car is an accomplice. Because of that, I'd call the police and report it as an employee and a person in a getaway car.

There's one of our bank branches here that is known for being jerks. They over gave a friend of mine $100 one day, and he pulled back through the drive through and said they'd messed up. The girl fussed him out, and said even if they did he had done drove off, so he was getting nothing. He said he just smiled, said ok, and drove off. I don't blame him. Reminded me of the manager here.

like the people Robin Hood gave money to aren't bad people, but that doesn't make what Robin Hood did any less of a crime

Sorry, but as the moronic manager who put the money in a Bojangles' food box along with bank receipts I'd be pointing a finger at you as the thief. Not an employee or even a customer.

I'm thinking it was more a disgruntled employee who took a bank bag and snuck its contents into a box and hurriedly tried to screw over the manager, etc.

Sounds like the "good samaritan" was being a smart azz by asking what the manager would do if he kept the money then got all offended when the manager got snarky back at him.

exactly

the way it comes across is that he was trying to make sure that the manager understood just how good his deed was, so that he could try to finagle a reward from the manager

I wonder if, after tithing, he goes to the church accountant, asks for a receipt, and paperclips it to his lapel

It's possible, but again as a manager why are you leaving a bank bag full of money laying around, unattended for that to even happen?
