The Cold Hard Truth About Cold Hard Cash

(I am sweeping up in the lobby when I come across a $50 bill on the floor. It is very near a customer, but he is honest and says it isn’t his. I decide to take it to the lost and found in case someone claims it.)

Me: *to my manager* “I found this on the floor. I’m sure someone will be looking for it soon.”

Manager: “Awesome! Thanks.” *he pockets the cash*

Me: “What? That’s for the lost and found! What if someone comes to claim it?”

Manager: “You should’ve kept it yourself! Unless they keep track of their money’s serial numbers, they can’t prove that it’s theirs. Take it as a lesson learned!”
