So she spent the money, knowing full well that it didn’t belong to her. All it would have taken was one phone call to verify that. She stole the money, plain and simple.

...and she essentially gets the whole sum as an interest free loan.

Hope she remembers to declare the money as income wit the IRS. It would be a shame if she had to pay interest and penalties on the unreported tip income.

Yep. I think the more precise legal term is unjust enrichment. Unjust enrichment occurs, eg, when you don't actually rob a bank of $10,000 but the bank wrongfully credits you with $10,000 in your account. It's not your money, you can't spend it, and you better report it!

Sums up what’s wrong with this country. She was entitled to the money in her mind, she probably quit immediately. $50/month doesn’t even cover the interest on the money and I would be willing to bet anything that she doesn’t even pay that.
