wait...so like...what the hell happened. How did someone accidentally give a random dude a stack of cash instead of chicken?
Im just guessing someone put it in the chicken box to carry out to their car to take to the bank instead of just walking out with a bank bag for fear of being robbed and then someone grabbed the wrong chicken box
I can't believe nobody considered this. Couldn't the cash have been mistakenly given to the guy and it was either drug money or money laundering? Maybe this was an illegal payoff of some kind supposed to go to the guy in the next car behind him? It would be a pretty sneaky way to do a drug deal. Hence why it was in a food box.

That's my best guess as well. A bunch of cash and deposit slips....seems like it was supposed to be a bank deposit. It's actually a smart idea to stow it in a box for the exact reason you just said, but they were obviously careless.
If the box didn't contain deposit slips, then maybe something more elaborate.
because of the deposit slips, I think a disgruntled employee was trying to screw the business by taking a bank bag and emptying it into a box and giving it to the guy with the hopes he'd drive off

That's probably the most likely scenario. The manager put the money in a food container so it wouldn't draw attention when he walked out with it to take it to the bank. In that case, I see no way the manager had any grounds to call the cops. Hard to imagine the manager's stupidity being considered theft.
It's only theft if theft was the attempt, obviously
However if the manager knew that $4500 was sitting somewhere and an employee picked it up and gave it away (even on accident) and the manager didn't see that employee do that, then the obvious first instinct is to treat it as theft. At the worst, you call the cops, report the plates from cameras, and track down the money.
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.
I disagree. Theft is intentional. Giving away a box of which it's contents you assume are part of a food order to a customer is not theft, period. In any scenario the manager is an idiot and he's responsible for the loss of the cash.
The only "evidence" there is that that manager was disrespectful to this guy is the guy saying the manager was. Considering how much of a tool he's turned out to be, I'm not about to just give him the benefit of the doubt that his side of the story is 100% genuine or if he just got pissed at the reply itself.
I think it's just as likely that when he commented about not returning the money, the manager simply said "Well then we'd call the cops", and he didn't say in a smartazz way but this guy suddenly got offended because he said he'd call the cops. The faux outrage he has is highly suspect.
The manager is an idiot for letting the money get out, but I'm not buy this tool's sob story about how disrespectful the manager was either. Take your gift card and free meal and GTFO.
