I would return it, not because I'm "nice" or anything, but because the mistake will not go unnoticed, and I might want to go back to the same place! I already know I'm making more money than the clerk, how low do you have to be to put a person like that in a position where they will probably have to cough up the missing money!
"Game Theory" proves that the best choice for any situation is the one you would prefer happened if you were one of the other players; you should always treat other people the way you want to be treated.

Of course return it! That is the only moral thing to do. I have not had this happen with a $100 before, but have had an extra $20 that was stuck to one I received as change.
Also, think about this. A lot of stores count down the drawers and hold the cashier liable for any shortfalls. Are you REALLY going to steal $100 directly from the paycheck of that person working at the other side of the counter? Anyone who would knowingly do that is very cold hearted!

Return it.
Think about the situation if it were reversed. You give someone an extra 100 dollars by mistake. You would be responsible for that error. If the person returned the money, you would be so thankful and relieved.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a good way to live.

I've gotten an extra $20 once before. I gave it back. It's just a thoughtless mistake and I don't want that person to get into trouble over it.

Well, it depends. For instance one time I bought a tv that was defective, and the company (CIRCUIT CITY) charged me a 15% fee to restock it, because they said it was not defective. I'd keep a $100 from them. But any place else, you should return the money, or if you're too embarresed to go back and hand them a $100 that you took, make sure you shop there for the rest of your life!

The right thing to do is to return it. Personal integrity is worth a whole lot more to me than money. Keeping it makes you a thief.

I would return it. I believe in Karma. I just would feel that if i took something that is not mine I cost myself something bigger and I put out there something bad so it all comes back on me Nope give it back who knows you may walk out the store and receive More than that $100.
