The Extra Change

Do you return the money?

The Extra Change

A cashier gives you £20 too much in change. You notice after leaving the shop. Going back will make you late, and the shop is part of a huge chain.

Do you return the money?

Then ask

  • Would your answer change if the cashier had to cover the mistake?
  • What if it were only £1?
  • At what amount would keeping it start to feel like stealing?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
