I have seen many people doing the same thing and it always irks me. I have told my kids many times it is more important to be honest about things than to save money. What an awesome post!

But when money is found we have kept it. I remember when dd found $30 at a festival. She did keep it considering there really was no place to take it. But if it was a wallet that would have been diff. I recall a time when my ds found a gift card at church. I gave him the choice to keep it or take it to Father to see if some one claimed it. Father told him to keep it. Ds took the card and bought something w/it but he also bought something for Father. We even held on to it for a week or two to see if someone would claim it before he spent it. Just in case. They are learning. My children have seen us correct a waitress on a bill.

I agree about that story of the bagger and the 'accidentally on purpose' dropped money. What's wrong is wrong. If I'm aware of a mistake, I'll tell the cashier. Recently, I handed someone a five and he started to hand me back the five along with my real change. I pointed it out, of course. Part of it is just that I'm honest, but part of it is that I was a cashier and I know how embarassing it is to find your register short at the end of the day! (Legally, they can't dock you for it.) I'm sorry you didn't get that phone call. Years ago, my daughter found a $50 at Costco. I made her hand it in and was told she could check back in sixty days. Do you know...wonder of wonders...the money was there and they gave it to her! I'm glad Katherine was rewarded for her honesty, but also glad she saw honesty in others. How easily someone in that store could have kept that money! Yes, honesty is and always will be the best policy! My husband and I have separate ECB cards, but that’s because I lost and then found one–I only use the one, and he rarely uses his since he’s not much of a CVS shopper.

I have ashamedly been known to get carried away with things and lose a little bit of integrity when it comes to getting deals. Luckily my dh balances me out and keeps my feet on the ground so to speak! ♥ I totally agree.
