Answer 1

I'm honest...I think. If I was in your situation, I probably wouldn't have noticed and maybe noticed when I left. I wish there were more people like you in the world. It would be such a better place! You did the right thing, well done.

Answer 2

I would so give it back. I would feel bad for the person, if they later realized that they gave the wrong change back, and the people didn't even tell them. I would n't want to be a cashier and have that happen. I think honesty is everything. It is impossible for me to lie, yet i can "cover" things up, they always are revealed. Honest people make the world a better place. That is a very thoughtful and nice thing you idd giving the change back. There needs to be more people like you in the world. People that don't care about money but happiness.

Answer 3

I was actually in a situation like that at McDonalds. And I can honestly say, I was not honest that day. My total was like 5 dollars and some change. So I gave her $10 (one of the new tens that look like monopoly money) and she ended up giving me like $14 back. She must have thought I gave her a 20.

Answer 4

Yes, I would give it back. The one time I didn't was a few years ago at Christmas time. I didn't notice the cashier had given me too much money back until I was at home the next day. I decided to put the amount I was given into the Salvation Army collection kettle. I felt good about it because I knew it was for a good cause-maybe it would help a child have a nice Christmas.

Answer 5

Yes, I am honest. I could've walked out with so much money on many different occasions, because a cashier gave me the wrong change, but I haven't because that is not how I am. I had a man drop a $100 bill in front of me as he was walking away & he didn't know it & we caught up to him & gave it back to him. He was so relieved. He had no idea it had fallen out of his wallet.
Good for you for being honest :-)

Answer 6

It happens to me all the time..but I give it back.. (you never know what the clerk or the person's boss is like..and what the situation is for this person to be working..sometimes I hear that certain employers make the clerk working on that till give the missing money out of their pocket..that would suck especially if that clerk was a student)


however the opposite has also happened and the clerk wasn't so honest. or just simply forgot.....until I figured it out and say something at that time. like "excuse me you forgot to give me my change back"..Or like I gave you a 20 I'm missing my change

I don't believe in cheating someone or being cheated to myself..its only fair...

Answer 7

Yeah, if I noticed I would give it back. I've done it before. I've also counted my change and found that the cashier shorted me and I pointed that out as well! I'm also the kind of person who if I see someone drop money, a purse, a wallet, I always tell them and return it.

Answer 8

Once I was handed the 4.66 it became my money. WHy should I give it back.

Answer 9

I would if I noticed, and I usually do. I have had people try to give me change back from a twenty when I paid with a five. I would feel guilty if I knowingly pocketed the extra.

Answer 10

I would definitly give it back. I've given wrong change and I know what a head ache it can be. Let alone it's their money they have to use to re-pay. It's the correct and moral thing to do.
