Think the people at Chick-fil-A are honest, upstanding folks?
This story will confirm your hunch.
A civil rights lawyer in Decatur, Georgia, made a huge mistake when he dropped hundreds of dollars on the floor at a Chick-fil-A while eating breakfast, but a restaurant employee saved him from losing the cash, WXIA-TV reported.
Attorney Victor Long had $1,200 in cash on him — money bound for the bank — on April 1 when he ate breakfast at the restaurant, he told WXIA.
“I didn’t even think about backtracking, because I figured anybody who found the money, the way people need things now, it probably never was going to come back,” he said. ”I hoped that whoever got the money would need it. And I was satisfied with that. And I thought that if someone who found it needed it, it would be a blessing to me.”

I once got $30 too much from a drive-up teller. One of the twenties was a fifty dollar bill. I didn’t count the money till the next day. I know, I should have counted it immediately but there were people behind me in line.
I took the money back the next day to the same teller. Her response: “Darn. My drawer will be off again today!” She was very unhappy.
Sometimes an accident is just an accident and not a reflection on moral character.
perhaps a test? I don’t know, he looks pretty old.Wonder what woulda happened to him in Mc Dees with a wad of money and grey hair,especially in a urban area like Houston? Now imagine what woulda happened if he was white or asian....keep your thoughts inside your head.
I was thinking about George Bailey’s uncle too!
We had to hire an attorney for a probate dispute. Cost us $14000 by the time it was done. Every time the attorney wanted money to continue I paid them in cash. I think the largest amount was $8k. The first time I took cash in in an envelope I told them I found it under the mattress. After that they expected cash and just laughed as they counted out the envelopes. lol
I would have given the money back BUT I would have fined him $1000 dollars for littering
A few months ago, we left Chick-fil-A and about ten minutes later, one of the kids in our group said he left his Ipod in the bathroom.
When we returned, it was still there.
Higher expectations breeds a higher level of employees and clientele.
I lead a boys outdoor troop called Trail Life USA. Each week, I get to pass on a little bit of Troopmaster advice that we call Wisdom of the Wild.
Guess what I’m going to be talking about next week?
If you guessed Jacob King, you would be right.
great idea! If you have access to wifi during your session, you could even play the clip.
I have been a fan of their marketing and culture.
Cannot say I am a fan of their food. I wish I was, but I just don’t like it much.
Don’t you just love the looks you get for it?
It’s walking around money for a “civil rights” huckster, who really has absolutely value to society.
