<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bilboleslie, post: 874514, member: 24821&quot;]Although this may be off topic, it&#039;s interesting.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say a cashier miscounts, and her till is over at the end of the day (she has an extra dollar).&nbsp; She accidentally shorted a customer a dollar.&nbsp; Who does that dollar belong to?&nbsp; To some unknown customer, right?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What happens to the buck?&nbsp; Does the cashier get to keep it?&nbsp; Nope.&nbsp; It belongs to the business. Why can&#039;t she keep it?&nbsp;&nbsp; That would encourage short changing the customers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the reverse.&nbsp; If she shorts the store, and a customer is ahead a buck, who eats the buck?&nbsp; The cashier?&nbsp; Does she pull a dollar out of her purse to cover the shortage?&nbsp; No, the store is out the buck. </p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing here, even though it is a machine.&nbsp; The money belongs to the bank, not to the cashier, and not to Tbone.&nbsp; In this case, Tbone tried to return the money, but a lousy cashier left Tbone with the dough.&nbsp; He didn&#039;t deserve it, and he tried to return it.&nbsp; He&#039;s not a thief, but make no mistake, the money belonged to the bank.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This money in part might offset all the foreign coins that get dumped into a counting machine.&nbsp; I know it happens, as when I buy a bag, I get that junk.&nbsp; And I eat it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
