except the guy behind me may pick up the money.
I’ve ‘done my duty’ when I reported it to the cashier; if he wants to gift me with it, well...
“if he wants to gift me with it, well...”
That’s not a gift. That’s taking something that doesn’t belong to you, and you were aware of it. It has the appearance of taking advantage of a person’s lack of education or intelligence. You can base your morals however you want. But are you any better as a person by this act? And the person behind you has their own morals.
And if the register is short, and it will be, could it cost the employee their job if it happened a few times in a shift for the above reasons of intelligence or training deficiencies? In an employee throw away atmosphere, I’ve seen it done.
