When you pay for you clothes, food, accessories...etc.... do you count your change?
I went through a drive through for breakfast today... paid for my food and got my change... I always count my change (even the "cents") to make sure I was not given more. Today this person was trying something and put 20 extra dollars in their till and gave 20 customers 1 extra dollar to see how many people actually counted their change... I was the only person out of 20 to notice an extra dollar and give it back. I have done this many times where I have been given extra and I always give it back--- it tends to amaze the other person after you give it back -- but at the same time while you count they get aggravated. So I tried to think about this today...what does "counting my change" say about me? Does this mean I don't trust people? If my change "cents" is short I never complain-- if I am missing dollars I might say something ---but it's usually always over "changed". I think I actually trust people, maybe too much, but I think the counting the change piece actually is the part of me that cares for others... when you are responsible for a till if you are over or under at count down you get wrote up... you get wrote up quicker if you are always over (means you are taking from a lot of patrons). I do count my change because I am afraid that I am taking money that is not mine --- and like I said I tend to get extra money all the time...Now is this a test of if I will take the money knowingly and not say anything or return it -- or is it a sign that good fortune is being bestowed upon me--- hmmm idk, but I don't feel right in walking away with change that really wasn't mine.
I have happened upon a 100 dollar bill on my car door when leaving the cardiologist office once... I looked around for an owner but seen no one--- I did keep this one... I put it in a book and forgot about it for almost a year until I picked up the book to read again :-).
Okay kind of got off topic... but I do think I trust people, I don't know why I count my change :-).
Do you count yours?
