So last night at my crappy Best Buy job I found $200 in cash on the floor. I picked it up, looked around, but no one was nearby.
I was walking up to the front of the store to find a manager to tell, and I ran into one of my fellow employees who asked why I had the money in my hand. I told him I was gonna give it to the manager and someone lost it and he's like "No, you just hang on to it. Thats happened before and the manager just keeps it for himself". The employee has always been trustworthy in the past, and the manager DOES definitely seem like the type that would do that.
So I decided to hang onto it myself, and if anyone asks about it I'll give it back. All I can think about is some poor kid might've accidentally dropped all his Christmas money. I asked someone at customer service, and they said the same thing, hold onto it and if anyone asks about it they'll post a notice.
Did I do the right thing? Should I run out and buy a Wii instead?

If you don't trust the manager, don't give him the money to look after. If you are wanting to spend it, wait at least a month - and then give it to me.

Keep, but don't spend. Give it a week, check back with Customer Service/Lost & Found every day. If, after a week goes by, nobody declares it missing, you got yourself a Wii.

Keep it, but not yet spend said moneys. I know you need it to buy nutrients, but waiting needs to take place first. After a few days to a week, it's all yours to spend on coke and streetwalkers.

I have no morals. I'd be at the strip bar with a cigar in my mouth, a drink in my hand, and a naked girl in front of me and I'd be laughing like a crazy person over some idiots lost of $200 bucks.

So far you've done nothing wrong. If no notice is posted soon, keep it. But make sure to wait a little while before spending it and/or putting it away. Though I'd be pretty tempted to keep it, as there might be some dishonest bum who'll post the notice in a despicable attept to get the money.

I'm gonna give it at least a week before I spend it (And if I do, its not going to be on a Wii, or strippers or prostitutes unfortunately, unless I can get one cheap.......its going to pay off credit cards)

I'd say holding onto it and checking constantly for a week is the safest bet, esp. if your manager is a total snake.

You just have to ask yourself one question ... What would he do? And I believe there is your answer.

I agree with Mr. Of J as well, but it's Dinobot's post that makes this thread.

I'm in agreeance with everyone else here. Give it a little bit of time, but keep it close to the vest, and don't tell anyone how much it was. The fact is, it's very hard to prove/disprove that someone lost that much money. Personally, I think that if it was that much, they would have already showed looking for it, either at your store, or through the mall security lost and found.

Hell, I've got $4,000 in credit card debt (Not luxuries either, here, things like food and gas), $7000 in hospital debt, work 2 jobs, 60+ hours a week and still can barely pay all my bills...I AM charity!

I think this is a case where you need the $200 worse than the guy who lost the $200. Use that fund tender to pay off your debts, at least it is going towards a worthy cause.

I'd tend to agree, given my typical clientel is...somewhat shady, but I'd feel absolutely horrible if its some kid who lost his money and didn't realize till he got home. Which is why I'm waiting. My greedy ass friends wanted me to spend it last night on games.
