Do you keep it?

The poll does not cover my kind of response: return excess change to the cashier, because there is a connection there, however brief. Amount would be irrelevant. The poor cashier does not want an overring.

But found money on the ground, I keep, if there is no plausible claimant there looking for it. But I'm not going to be solely opportunistic about it either... the restoring of a larger sum to whomever lost it should certainly be tried, I think. So maybe the amount does have its effect after all.

I've turned away a sawbuck for curing a bad case of hiccups in a restaurant once. Nice gesture, and I appreciated it, but I'd like to think I just said to the guy that he should offer the hiccup cure to the next poor fellow in need of it.
