I would have originally said "I'd just take the extra money and leave" but after reading some of the replies about working registers I'll definitely hand the money back now.
No dough, no go. And no mercy.

If I ever got an extra dollar of change, I would be too paranoid to give it back in case it was part of one of those "What Would You Do?" shows because I am so camera-shy, so I would run, run, run away in the manner of a gazelle.

You probably think I'm joking but I'm not. One time saw twenty bucks laying around and I was too afraid to pick it up because I thought it might be part of one of those creepy experiments. Also, if I see change or money on a sidewalk I am always to afraid to try to pick it up in case it is a coin superglued down or in case it is a bill attached to fishing wire that someone's going to pull.

If I would notice it I would give it back. But 99% of the time I don't pay with bills/coins but my bankcard. That way it get's written of directly from my bankaccount and I avoid a lot of hassle with small coins and save a lot of time waiting for the cashier to count out the change.

And when I do pay cash I usually don't bother to check the change unless it's a big amount.
Life is to give and take. You take a vacation and you give to the poor.

It all started with a clear, crisp autumn day. I was on lunch break during work and decided to head to the bank for something. After finishing, I walk out the doors and there's leaves blowing everywhere. Only these weren't ordinary leaves. I look again and it's really twenty dollar bills that are blowing in the wind. I quickly scramble what I see and end up netting 13 twenties in my fist. 260$. I proceed to casually speed walk it to my car and drive off. I finished my shift with the biggest troll grin ever.

Interesting that some people would prefer not to give back the money as the sums became larger. Wouldn't the particular person who made the mistake be in bigger trouble as the sums get bigger? Hence, the original motivation of helping that person to avoid being put in a bad position doesn't really make logical sense fore me.


As the benefits get bigger, people's superficial values crumble. The same happens when the potential negative consequences are reduced, or when the victim is abstract. There's also the issue of helping the other person rather than helping yourself. It's all about tipping the balances. File sharing, corporate crime, etc. deal with the same moral dilemma.


The abstract victim is what gets me. If I get too much change back over PayPal and not from a person, I'd keep it. I also pirate even though I know it's wrong and kind of want to stop. Grar.


you know, come to think of it, i think i might do the same. i definitely give money back in person, but over the internet or w.e, i think i may not.. not sure though as it hasn't happened to me.
i do recall studies done on this though, where separation from the victim affects actions quite a bit. can't remember where though, lol

I'm with the "Hassle-guys". If I notice it at the register or while I'm still in the store, I'll return it. Seeing how as I always use my card to pay, however, it rarely happens. Who carries cash these days anyway? No use.

Pretty much agree with you. I didn't think anyone carried cash either. But if you go abroad you should always carry cash, I went to Germany for CEBIT this year and to my surprise it was very rare that the supermarkets and restaurants there took Visa(some even thought I asked for pizza:D). Of course it could have been just the places we visited, but it felt so weird when back in Sweden every little shop takes Master Card and Visa.
