WWYD?

 Here's a scenario. What would you do?

 

You go to the store and do some shopping. All of your purchases are bagged and on the end of the counter. You pick them all up and when you get home, which is ten minutes away through the pouring rain, you find that there are two bags that don't belong to you!!

 

In these bags are two bags of chips, two wee tubs of dip, a

small smoked ham, two small packages of cold meat

and some buns.

 

There is no receipt in the bags at all.

 

Would you take it back to the store?

I did keep it

 

I was surprised that everyone in the family said they would keep it. I thought my 13 y/o son would have said bring it back but even he said he'd keep it. I just kept thinking that it was the wrong thing to do and Mike said maybe the person won't even come back for that little bit of stuff depending on how far away they live, as we are out in the country and it's a long way to town for some of us. Then he said that if she did come back that the store would reimburse her anyway as long as she showed them her receipt.

 

I just kept telling the kids that I was sure something bad would happen to me if I kept it because I knew it was the wrong thing to do, but you are right Shannon, it was that time of year when it would come in really handy and I found all those excuses to keep it. Mike tells me that now I will just blame any bad thing that happens on that, and I told him that's the reason our computer isn't coming home!! do you suppose fate works like that????
