You’re checking out at Walmart, when you notice a $100 bill fall out of a lady’s purse. What is your response?

I give it back. In my lifetime I have found wallets, purses, IDs, an entire school trips bag which had thousands of dollars and all the kids game systems in it, and I've returned it all. There have been times when I have misplaced something valuable and been so relieved when someone decent returned it to me or at least turned it in where I lost it. The idea of "being a good person happens when no one is watching you," because in those moments there is no judgement, no cameras, nobody to scold you, so then do you also choose to do the right thing? For me that answer is easy, give it back.
Exactly. 👍 I remember in 1991 when I was 11 I found someone's wallet with no ID and $650 in it. That's $1,250 in today's money! I took it home, knowing what to do, and I showed my mom and we took it to the police station. When my mom was filling out the paperwork, the officer behind the desk said to me, "You know, if no one claims it in 6 weeks you get to keep it." Those 6 weeks passed and about 6 months later I had totally forgotten about it. lol But yes, doing the right thing - not just when no one is watching, but also genuinely doing it without wanting or expecting anything in return - is always the best thing.
I remember one time I lost my wallet while doing a float-down-the-river-in-an-inner-tube event, and like an idiot, I completely forgot to NOT put my wallet in the shorts I was using (just force of habit)! Completely oblivious, during my float down the river my wallet fell out somewhere (luckily in some shallow water, as it turned out), and someone picked it up...
... It wasn't until I got home that I realized my wallet was gone, and that I had been such a dumb ass by putting my wallet in the shorts I used to float down the river. lol I called the event coordinator to see if anyone had dropped off my wallet in the lost and found, and by miracles of all miracles, someone had! Luckily, it was one of the event staff member's kids who found it (they were floating the river too), and all I had to do was go to their house to pick it up.
I only had $10 in cash in my wallet at the time, but all my bank and credit cards, and ID was in there, so it would have been a pretty big (and annoying) loss to have lost all of that. Not only that, but this happened during the first few days of a 3 week trip about 1,000 miles away from home too, so it was a massive relief.
I was so thankful, and Thanked them profusely. I wanted to give their kid $50 for finding it, but they were adamant that they didn't want or need anything for finding it, and that them being able to give it back to its rightful owner was good enough. I would have done the exact same given it was the other way around. But it all just goes to show how a little honesty goes a long way.
@Adventurer23 How many people can say I lost a wallet in a river and got it returned to me? Great kid. It's experiences like that, that will shape him into a good adult. I always tell people, put yourself in that other persons shoes. The money might be their rent money, travel money, their entire paycheck, money for much needed medications, and in some real cases, if you lose certain work related items, the reason someone gets fired....you just never know, but it's not for you to decide that they don't need that money by taking it. Plus I think for a lot of people in this crazy world, it really does help restore their faith in humanity to know that there are quite a few good people still out there.
I once found a $50 note on the floor right next to the cashier as I was waiting in line. I picked up the note, told the cashier, and the man in front of me straight away said, "That's mine". I gave it to him without hesitation, without even thinking that maybe it wasn't his (I didn't see him drop it). I didn't need the money, and it might have been his, in which case he probably would have needed it more than I.
If I find money and theirs no owner I physically saw ut from or nobody coming back to ask if anyone saw it. I would keep it. Because someone else will take it or claim its there if I ask & police are useless for that.
If she dropped it infront if me on accident i will return it to her. Because she most likely needs that and she clearly accidently dropped it and in this economy with Biden fuckkng everything up she is gonna need that 100$
Biden is fucking up everything. And to think some people support this idiot more than Trump? Wow.
@davado88 no, YOU stfu
@Kingofkings1992 lol yup clearly an alt of one if the butthurt people on here just made their acc and trying to troll hahahhaa and suck at it too hahahaa
If I saw for sure who dropped it, I’d give it back. That may be all the money that she had for food and who knows what else.
If I had no way to know where it came from I’d keep it. Anyone will claim that they lost it, if you just walked around and asked.

I would pick it up, hand it to her, and said "You dropped this."
One time in the grocery store, I actually did find a $100 bill on the floor. I didn't know who dropped it. I wasn't going to ask people if they dropped it or give it to the cashier. I figured that a pot trimmer or drug dealer had dropped it because they usually get paid in $100 bills. Not many average people carry bills that size. So I figured I was lucky and pocketed it. 😃
That's entrapment.
Ain't no wallyworld customer walking around with 100 bill that isn't covered in coke or came out of a stripper's ass crack or part of an undercover sting. Matter fact, I may run the opposite direction and just yell five oh five oh the whole time.
Except I don't shop at walmart so it'd just be me under a bridge somewhere.
Ok Target, whatever
Yeah I'd give it back unless I'd seen them acting douchey. I tried to tell a woman that her purse was on top of the car as she was pulling away once. She just goes "Uhm. No. I have a boyfriend." with a real asshole tone and eye roll. Looked like Eddie Munster number one so bish don't flatter yourself. Number two I loved seeing her pull out of the gas station onto the highway.
a guy last December dropped a wad of money while at self checkout alittle after 6am, i picked it up and yelled for him to stop you dropped money, he was an ass about it. yanked it out of my hand when i handed it to him, no thank you or anything. all the associates said i should have kept it instead. i said nope he's an ahole next person won't be so kind to return it or even alert him.
i would make sure she got it back.
Keep it. DA FUCKK…. 🤣🤣🤣
Finders Keeps, Losers Weepers
It is what it is. Had I not been there to see it. Someone else would keep it. 😂
WHAT DA FUCK….
And who’s to say that woman is a good person, to deserve that 100 dollar? Who’s to say she deserves any money anyway?
I didn’t technically steal it from her. I didn’t SNATCH IT. From her. So it’s mine now.
Now I can buy those headphones I really need. 😊
Give it back to her
I'd give it back, I'd feel too guilty keeping it. If I found money and I didn't know who it belonged to though, I'd probably keep it.
Pick up the cash, and walk up to the woman stopping about 10ft away a say "I think you dropped this" while holding out the cash, if the woman will bot take it from my hand, I'd place it on the ground or on a wall, and pin it down with a stone or something handy, and then back off completely.
By noticing her $100 bill dropped out of her pocket. Knowing that it's here's. Would glad fully return it back to her. Even though I have no money to have a cup of coffee. Still Would return it to her.
If. Howrver. I saw the $100 bill but didn't see it drop out of nobody's pocket then I'll keep it. Because lost and found departments don't accept lost money. But phones, credit cards, keys, absolutely.
Funny this should come up. I was checking out at the check yourself out section of Walmart two nights ago. The lady ahead of me paid for her stuff and went to leave and dropped a handful of wadded up twenties. I stopped her and pointed at them and she was glad I did too.
I’d pick up the bill and hand it to them without a second thought — just as I would if someone dropped their keys, phone, or wallet. It’s just the right thing to do.
I'd legit give it back to her. What the hell is wrong with the people answering "finders keepers"?
A lot of dishonest people out there. I’m surprised it’s not a higher percentage honestly.
Naturally I would hand it right back to her.
I would follow her out of the store and grab her purse with all that money. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣
Of course you know not serious, and, of course, give it back to her.
Third option: I run her over with my cart and steal her purse, because I know where one loose $100 bill is, there are many more. :-D
Is there really a choice? Yell "Hey Lady" to get her to stop and give her the money.
Probably buy her some flowers for 20 bucks... make her day see her smile then go grab a steak dinner.
Not only is it the right thing to give her the money back. But Walmart has cameras on you 24/7 and even can see what you type on your cell
Not illegal, just a question of morals
Never know how a court would rule. I’m just saying with cameras showing you pick up the money it’s wise to give it back
... Lady... you got one huge hole in your purse.
It's not mine to take, so I give it back to her.
Give it back
Even if I had an evil mind... cameras are probably watching me
