Bearing in mind there was nobody near the tills where it was found so whoever dropped it had no idea and even if i handed it in they probably would never have got it back anyway like

And what if that was all that was left of an old ladies pension and she returned an hour later to see if she left it at the till. Shop staff probably check cctv to see if they can locate it and there you are shoving it in your pocket, how does that look eh

I lost 40 pounds in tescos once so I know it's annoying when people take it for themselves. I'd hand it in.

These days def hand it in, it's only £20. When I was a bit poorerer... it would have been a tougher question, to be honest.

When I was a teenager I found £5 on the floor right at the counter at McDonalds and it paid for my lunch. Those were good times .

If you seriously think a cashier would respond to someone coming in and saying "I dropped £20 earlier, has someone handed it in x" with anything other than a no, you are a fool

Don't think that's true, most cashiers would hand money in as lost property if they found it and then if someone came in for it the manager could determine if it was their money or not

There's a law of, theft by finding.
Obviously small amounts are less likely to be seen as serious.
However there are cases where people have been prosecuted or barred from Stores, if caught on camera taking cash left in self service checkouts or off the floor even.
Extremely rare occurrence however.

I'd hand any amount in myself, or alert a member of staff to the cash left at checkouts.

Having said that you couldn't blame people for just holding onto it.

Interesting poser this.

Someone sounds guilty

But yeah I'd definitely just keep it, there's like 0% chance it's getting back to the owner anyway

Normally I would keep it....but recently I got cash back at a self service checkout and forgot to pick the cash up. Got about 5 mins away....ran back to the store and asked at customer service and someone had handed it in. The woman at customer service was really condescending and said I was lucky someone was so honest and handed it in and I should be more careful. She was right but the way she lectured me was embarrassing

I’d keep it tbh. When me or my colleagues found money in work before, our old boss used to tell us to put it in the tills which I always hated doing so once he walked off, I’d take it out and put it in the charity pot.

tbf if I found money at a cashpoint I would hand it in, I have been behind a person before who walked away distracted and left a tenner that she had withdrawn on the till, and I called after her, if someone has done that my thinking is they will return, same with a bank card, but a random 20 on the floor which the person probably wouldn't remember where they dropped it, I would pocket it, when I came to London in the 90s my friends and i found 20.00 on the street, we had a lovely indian meal with it, and we were skint so it was like manna from heaven
