Just wanted to share this story of a very honest young man. I own a convenience store and the other day a young man made his purchases with his friend and left but came back in shortly after with some paper money in hand.
He explained he had found it outside and that he wanted to turn it in.
My clerk took it, took down his name and phone number and explained that if no one claimed it in a few days, the money would be his. He said he "didn't feel right" taking it.
A few minutes ago, I called the number he had left and spoke to his mother and explained what had happened. She sounded a little relieved and said she was glad he had "done what she had taught him to do."
So kudos to the young man and his mother for raising him right. I hope he actually accepts the cash! He deserves it!
