ok, so I am too impatient to really give a fuck enough to wait for the response.

You are at the carry out, you just dropped a little more than 3/4 of a Benji...

while re-arranging your items on the counter (no one else is in line) you knock off an old receipt, you bend over to pick it up and notice a jackson on the floor all folded up.

Do you pick it up and keep it, or hand it over to the cashier and ask them to return it to the rightfull owner (which if someone doesn't claim it is them...).

Whose name is written on that money? :tongue2:
A wallet or purse is a different deal.

Just Andrew Jackson, but he is dead and probably doesn't need it.

Agreed. Hell I found a condom while I was walking home the other day. Used it and turns out best sex ever. :wink:

was this the point of the thread--that is, to goad us into posting that statement?

anyway, if i had picked up that bill, i would have asked the attendant how long ago the previous customer had been at the counter. if the person was there more than just a couple minutes ago, i would have certainly kept the money. think about it. would you return for a bill that you dropped in a store over a few minutes ago? you wouldn't. why? you know that it's as good as gone. however, if the customer had just left, i would have remained there for, say, a minute or two (without saying anything to anyone).

there is no sense in asking if anyone dropped money. someone will always claim it, and i doubt that it would be a rightful claim. i wouldn't ask if it were the cashier attendant's, either. a cashier attendant dropped a bill on the other side of the counter? i don't think so. if the cashier admitted that it was his or hers, you can be assured that the bill won't be "returned" to the register.

On the "I found" track: I found about a gram of coke in a baggie in my old neighborhood at about 7 am on a Saturday the weekend before I moved. That is weird enough, but my wife found a smaller bag two weeks earlier.
