Hot dog cart at the beach ⛱️?

I wish. I'm slinging sandwiches, trapped indoors. That said, if anyone knows how to sell hotdogs it's this guy

Hey man, I love a good sandwich. It's a long shot, but if you're in Marin County, CA I'll come and buy a sandwich from you today.

I started waiting tables on the side and I'm going to get my ass kicked today because we're short staffed.

Boss left it in there to boost your morale for working on a holiday.

I used to work in a gas station convenience store in my teens. I would rip the corner of a $20 and stick it protruding out of the candy boxes. The joy and subsequent anger of customers was great. I am a shallow person.

Also glad you got a starting tip. Cheers, White man! O/

You don't have to ask me twice.

You know, you could have gone into the bank or contacted whoever owned the ATM and told them you found the cash, which you know is not yours. They would have been able to figure out who withdrew it and informed them they left the money on accident.

Just saying, since your good day is at some stranger's expense.

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry [op] 6 points 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 11:14:52 ago (+6/-0)

Nah, I'm good on that. I work at a bar, it was some drunk ass mother fucker last night. If you're too sloppy to take all your cash that's not my problem, it's yours. I've probably found $300 here in the past two years, a good $80 of that was left in the ATM.

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens 1 point 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 16:03:26 ago (+1/-0)

I loved the ATM at the titty bar. I would find probably $80-$100 a week in it. Really padded my savings

Well, I hope things get better for you, so you won't have to find yourself in moral quandaries like whether or not it's OK to nick a 20 here or there from a drunk.

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry [op] 5 points 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 11:24:42 ago (+5/-0)

I didn't nick shit, I found it.

Didn't Andrew Jackson put his face on it? Send it back. He needs it.

It's the same as finding a wallet on the ground and not trying to return it. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it is what it is.

Is it really a big deal? No. Not really. Nor do I think it makes you a bad person. And even if you had gone through the trouble of finding out who owned it, they probably wouldn't have even made the effort to get it back and let you keep it anyway, given it's all of $20.

But, you could be taking from you right now. You have no idea who that person is. They could be struggling along just the same as you are. Maybe it takes them two weeks, or an entire month, to save up enough cash to where they feel OK blowing it partying. Maybe he was drunk at the time, but that $20 could have been damn important to him. You'll never know.

Not to preach at you too much, but try to keep in mind, it's all the little, everyday decisions we make that total up to who we are. There's a benefit to holding yourself to a high standard, and while your circumstances might make it seem impossible to do such, I promise you that benefit is worth way more than $300.

You sound like a white knight neck beard.

Hey jinglebanger, step up and educate my wife on that shit will you. Everytime she finds money in my pockets as she's doing laundry, and it's added up to thousands ($100's and $20's add up quick) she quietly pockets it. The upside is my pocketnives, mace, loose change, notes, etc, don't screw up the washer dryer, which are top of the line Bosch and not cheap. She once owned up to a friend.

God tests us in weird ways. When you thoughtfully choose the love-thy-neighbor-as-thyself way, then God, Universal Balance, and a healthy character reward you.

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens 0 points 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 16:05:18 ago (+0/-0)

No way. While you are morally obligated to return a $20 in the ATM, absconding with a wallet is much, much worse.

[ - ] Portmanure 5 points 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 11:04:45 ago (+5/-0)

Whoa! How do you know it’s not someone who’s decided to pay it forward? Intentionally left $20 to the next person, just to help.

[ - ] Jinglebanger 1 point 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 11:11:34 ago (+1/-0)

Because they weren't waiting there with a phone to shoot their next tiktok. What do you mean.

We both know it is way, way more likely that someone simply left the money there. That's a pretty hard cope, my man. And he should have still made the effort to figure out what the situation was. He literally stole it, as in committed a criminal act, albeit a minor one.

It's not like I called him a nigger or anything. Just hopefully next time, he will be a little more thoughtful.

[ - ] Portmanure 3 points 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 11:15:49 ago (+3/-0)

I understand, if I found money on the street I would try to find the rightful owner if that were possible, if not, well, sucks for them.

What fucking bank is open on July 4th?

[ - ] beece 4 points 1.9 yearsJul 4, 2023 12:33:10 ago (+4/-0)

It's a bar Lice Monkey.

Oh, someone said bank. And, I don’t have lice.

You ever gamble in your life and win? ... "your good day is at some stranger's expense." You should give all your winnings back.

Working today, as well. I have beef at work, too. Going timo quit this job soon. I thought I was getting laid off from my other one, but they likely extended the contract by a few months.
