Default Re: Cashier\'s error at the Vic - no reward for being honest?

[ QUOTE ]
You want a reward for not stealing?

I'm not saying they couldn't have done more, and at the very least been earnest. But once you know they gave you too much, it's on you to return the cash. It's basically theft at that point.

If they returned an overpaid $100 to you, would you feel obligated to give them a reward?

returning the extra chips was the right thing to do but this process did inconvenience him (10 minutes of waiting) for something that was entirely the casino's fault. it's not unreasonable to expect a little something in return. by being honest he saved their staff a lot of time and effort which might have been spent trying to track down the missing money later. that's not something that they should want to discourage. just comp the guy a cheeseburger and everyone's happy.
