Today I went to McDonald's to return $10 that they overpaid my child in change last week when he went there to buy something with his allowance. (Two chicken patties! Gah! One for himself and one for a friend.)
The manager lady at McDonald's was very surprised when I came in and offered her the $10 with my explanation. My child and I were hoping she wouldn't accept the money, but (sigh) she did.
I ended up giving my child $5 for having told the truth about the extra change he'd received and had hoped to pocket.
I still hope McDonald's goes out of business, but I felt it was right to return the money since it wouldn't be fair to profit from their underpaid worker's error. Or would it be? I don't really know. Return the money and support animal killing OR don't return the money and keep it when it didn't belong to us. Hmmm.
Ah well. The 10 bucks are gone now, back into the bowels of McDonald's.
