A Rochester, New Hampshire woman ordered a sweet tea and a junior spicy chicken sandwich at a Burger King drive through, but she was handed quite a surprise instead of her order. Once Janelle Jones was on her way home, she realized that the employee at the restaurant had handed her a bag containing $2,631. All but a $100 bill was stuffed into two bank deposit bags. After contacting her husband, the couple decided to return the money. Read the full story, including what drove the two to return the cash and the response of the restaurant at Nothing to Do With Arbroath.
"Aren't you honest?" seems a common question.
No - just normal, or so I'd like to think.
That's a little disheartening... what "drove" them to return the cash? (insert obligatory "their car" joke here... but I digress)
How about that it was the correct, ethical, integrity-based thing to do? Sad to think we would need someone to explain why people would be motivated to do the right thing. Even sadder that they had to contemplate it first.
