Yeah, it actually started with 2 dollar bills then wheat pennies and then on up from there.
i always tell the workers they belong to me first and if i don't want them i will pass them on to you.
they have been very trusting with this.
That is great, highly value employees you can trust, they are sometimes not always easy to find.
The motel I worked at part time prior to retiring I discovered that an employee on another shift was shorting the coins in the rolls of quarters in the spare cash box. I had first noticed one roll seemed a little shorter, then I checked them all, and out of about 10-12 rolls, about 90% of them were shorted, I guess that employee figured no one would notice
(one or two shorted rolls you might think possibly it's just human error, but not with about 8-10 rolls out of 10-12 rolls shorted !)
(and that wasn't the last one to do stuff like that, I'm thinking to myself, how many new employees do they have to go thru before finding another honest one ?
)
On the flip side, I had about 4 times that a customer overpaid me by $100.00 without realizing it, every time I gave it back without hesitation.
One time I did not realize it till the person got into their room and I was doing a routine money count and found out that one of the $100.00 bills they gave me was actually 2 bills stuck together from being new bills, I immediately called them on the phone to come back to the front office so I could give them the extra $100.00 bill back.
Funny thing is, the people usually just gave a strange look without saying much or anything as if it was so strange for anyone to do that, I would just smile and say "I sleep good at night" and "you can't put a price on a clear conscious"
