what would you do if mistaken given the wrong change?

Hi there,just so you know,you are a good man.truly.lol.It just happened to me once,but i found it when i got home,so i choose to keep the wrong money...sorry...it is not too bad,i wish...

Thats an interesting discussion. I have actually worked in PiZZA HUT in the cash counter and once i had done the same thing. I gave a customer 75 $ instead of 25 $ and he was a sweetheart and returned the money. Had it not been for him I would have had to give 50 $ from my pocket. Because of him I always return the extra change that i get at stores.. However one time I did not give it back as the store cashier was very rude with me..so I kept it purposely

I choose to return the money. My Mom taught us kids that what we don't earn we shouldn't keep. So in my case it is a thing of being taught a long time ago to return what was not rightfully mine.

I always return it; although it's not always easy. Especially when I'm almost broke anyway. But I've got this little person sitting on my shoulder that won't let me keep it without going through a severe guilt trip.

I would most definetly return the change, even if they gave me a couple cents extra. I'm sure it runs through your head that you just made some easy money, but it's just wrong to take extra change like that.

Once a chap mentioned casually, "Anyone would be a gentleman if his pocket is full."

See the drift. Honestly, I misread your name as 'Mental Monkey' ... such an intelligent looking young man should come up with more indepth subjects than 'small change'.

Good luck.

I always give it back. Now, if I got all the way home and it was only a few cents, I probably wouldn't have gone back. But, something as big and obvious as what you mentioned would be noticed right away and I would definitely say something. I couldn't live with myself knowing that they gave me the wrong change and I kept it knowing that. I believe in something like Karma and if everyone did the right thing, there would be fewer problems in the world.

This has not happened to me so far.But,I would certainly give back the extra change.

If one is benificient this time,may be some other time,one may be the loser.So,I definitely would give back the money.

Sometimes,even shop keepers do it purposely to test our truthfulness.

Money got in the wrong way would not be of any use.One may even lose more than that some other day.

I am glad that you returned the money.

Cheers!Good day to you.

Happy mylotting.

Good for you metal_monkee! Not many people would do the same:)

I would return the wrong change of course. As I count the change as soon as I get it I would notice instantly when it happens to me.
