It doesn't always pay to be honest:
One time I was at a local watering hole with several friends and my wife. My wife gave me what I thought was a $20.00 and I went up to the bar and got us drinks. When the waitress gave me my change, I went to tip her and realized she had given me change for $100.00. I told her I thought it was a mistake and she went to the register to check, pretended to realize she was wrong, took back $80.00, and thanked me for my honesty.
When I got back to my wife I told her what happened and she told me that she indeed had given me a $100.00 bill. We both went back up to confront the waitress who pretended to be confused by the whole thing until my wife asked for a manager to break down the drawer and confirmed that what we were saying was true. At that point, she pretended to go back to the drawer, look again and said "oh, here is your $100.00. I must have accidentally put it in the $20.00 pile and someone had put another 20 on top of it so I didn't see it when I checked." Right.
That upset me for the rest of the night. What kind of person would screw over someone that was trying to help them out?
