it's mine dammit!

it's mine dammit!

Driving across the country, wanted some Taco Bell.

So I pull up an get my order, get my sack, get my drink.

I swung back up onto the interstate and headed home.

That's when I found out Taco Bell had screwed my order up AGAIN.

They never get my order right.

So instead of food there is a bunch of money!!! and it wasn't $2000, it was 12,467 bucks!

Now do they really think I am going to find an exit, turn around and drive back to town ???


I put the money into my purse, and when I got out of state, I pulled into a Red Lobster and had an Ultimate Feast, ceaser salad with extra dressing on the side, extra croutons, and a beer.


Mmmm... it was so good.

I am gonna spend the rest of the money on men of bad repute and Chippendale's dancers.

Does it bother you that the employee, probably being paid minimum wage and struggling to make a living as it is, that accidentally handed over the money, was probably made to pay back the company the $2000, thus costing Taco Bell absolutely nothing?

In almost all cases it's the employee that foots the bill for any mistake made. Just because they work for Taco Bell, doesn't mean that Taco Bell are the ones paying for the mistake. Under normal circumstances they hold the individual responsible.

nope does not bother me at all

They can just go across the street to the Arby's or KFC for their 5 dollars an hour

Situational ethics...
Blame the victim...
Justifications...
No Honor...

And we wonder why the world is so messed up.... its because of us
:fsu:



On a lighter note... Drive through bank sort of makes sense.

Around here we have drive through "liquor Stores". :wallbash:

Wow. Some real nice people on this forum.

Not nice, just honest. And, no Ontariostoner, I don't give a shit how long you've been here. Sounds like Dr. Dog is also dishonest, I don't care how long anyone has been here or how much rep you have. If you think your status here makes you a better person, I feel sorry for you.

The made up story....

Later that day at the same Taco Bell a guy came through the drive thru, paid for his order, drove off with what he paid for but as he drove off the employee noticed the smell of marijuana. They called the cops. They didn't have any description of him, they had no idea what his car looked like and it had been an hour since he was there. THE FUCKING POLICE FOUND THE POT SMOKER RIGHT AWAY. Tracked him right the fuck down for smoking weed. LOL!

That's is why I take shit back now. I used to do it just because I knew it was right. But now I would do it because they would find me. If it was some toker they would have found him and busted his grow room.

Cameras, snitches, pigs and bad luck... that is why I am taking it back. Not because of fucking karma.

There is no god and there is no karma.

If you knew anything about me, I might take offence, but alas, you know nothing about me, trying looking up some info on everything I do for the less fortunate


But other than that 36 people seem to agree with me, so take your internet ethics course elsewhere

4 fraking pages? I don't care who any of you are, anyone who feels the need to pop in here and be all uppity for four gorram pages is a retard.

Wooo... someone got some money that wasn't theirs... wooooooo wooooo. Big fucking deal... I ask a legit question in the growing design forum and can't get a single answer in 2 days but you assholes feel the need to pick fights and what not with other people in this forum.

Wastes of space and energy, the lot of you.

not giving it back.

don't care.

*yawn*

don't really care what anyone thinks. these taco bell franchises make millions of dollars and over work/under pay employees, are responsible for numerous environmental problems, and they make people fat and lazy. i look at it as compensation. i don't know why i would ever be in a taco bell drive-thru so this is all hypothetical. if this was my local farmers market, local grocery store, local restaurant, the money would be returned. shitty places like taco hell? fuck no. my money now. i could give two shits if a franchise like taco bell loses 2,000 dollars.

But then you'd quite happily screw over a person working a poorly-paid job because you weren't honest enough to return what you know wasn't intended to be yours. $2000 is a lot of money to a person working minimum wage for some horrible franchise like Taco Bell. A lot of those places have people trying to pay for college working their asses off trying to get by. Having to foot a $2000 bill could screw things up for them pretty badly.

OK, it is OBVIOUS you have never worked in fast food restaurant.

Here is what happens in this situation.

Boss: You gave the wrong sack? the one with the money?
Kid: Yes
Boss: You are FIRED!
Kid: F U I quit. You can' t fire me.

Now , there is no way the employee will get the $$ out of his check. They will quit first. This is not a plantation in 1840.

They ain't slaves. The employees will not pay the money back. no way.

Also the store owner has insurance in case his money gets lost. Do you think you would not have insurance for things like this when you have teenage kids running a business for you?

Your sentiments are correct in that the money ethicallyl should be given back. That is the right thing to do.

Nobody is going to do the right thing in this case. They will all remember the screwed up orders, the aggravating service they received, and 99.999996% of all people would keep it in real life.

def keeping it. i hate taco bell. i have had to sit in the drive thru line for over a half hour multiple times there. getting handed a bag of money would make my day hell it would make my year. i would see it as a karmic reward as well as im a good person (not tooting my own horn here)
 
I voted NO. To me it would be worth it to see the employees face when the money is returned. I lost my wallet once, and a very kind soul returned it to me with nothing missing. It was such a relief, i would definatly return the favor to someone else regardless of the amount.

It feels good knowing you did the right thing. The more kind deeds you do, the more you want to continue doing kind deeds.

The more you steal and get away with it, the more you are willing to steal
Neglecting to do the right thing is just as bad as doing the wrong thing

Dr. Dog, you could very well be the coolest, most giving guy on the internet, I didn't really mean to call you dishonest, I did say "Sounds like", but IN THIS CASE, KEEPING THE MONEY IS DISHONEST, period.
I look at it, as if I did this with my money, I'd want someone to give it back.
Sorry to offend, not my intention. I'm leaving this thread now. :ying:

if you think about it taco bell should be paying us to eat there shit anyway...

you'll need it for your future hospital bills... i ate taco bell last about 15 yrs ago, when i was on the road, homeless, and broke, and i had diarrhea for 2 days maybe longer... ugh, that food is nasty.

and btw the person who gave it out the window should be fired regardless of whether it was returned. thats a pretty big mistake and shouldnt just b forgiven because someone is nice enough to bring it back. so another reason to keep it
