Taco Bell cashier accidentally gives customer $2000 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A young woman in her 20s, driving a silver SUV, got more than burritos when she went through the drive through at the Taco Bell on Brown Street, near the University of Dayton campus and Miami Valley Hospital.

Instead of a bag containing her order, she got a bag containing the restaurant's morning bank deposit — about $2,000.

Police were called to the restaurant around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 11. An employee said she was working the drive-through window and mistakenly gave the customer the bank deposit. The restaurant manager explained it was store policy to put the bank bag containing the deposit in a Taco Bell bag. The manager would then drive up to the drive-through window, and an employee would hand him the bag.

Security footage showed the transaction but not the license plate of the vehicle. Police contacted a regular customer who was in line behind the SUV. He said he could not remember the license plate on the SUV. He and the employee described the driver as a college-age woman with black or brown shoulder-length hair, wearing a white shirt with a red sweater, zip-up jacket or sweatshirt over it.

A search through the neighborhood for the vehicle was fruitless.

When last seen, the driver, vehicle and Taco Bell bag of money were heading south on Brown Street.

If there were no security cameras and such. I have to admit I would be so tempted not to return the money, especially since I am unemployed.

Same here, unemployment pays peanuts. I'd gladly take the extra 2K. But since I couldn't live with myself, I'd return it.

the woman still hasn't returned the money and i doubt that she will...

and I'm not surprised about the mix-up - I have NEVER had the Taco Bell drive-thru window ever get an order right around here; you literally have to go over your receipt and count off each item and hand the bag back to them like three times until they either get it right or you give up in total frustration.

Nice of them to let all of the potential thieves out there know what their cash-handling procedures are!

This happened a few years ago at a different restuarant, in a different city. I cant remember where. Maybe these two are working as a team.

I hope she is not arrested and charged with a crime because of this

I thought you were on the side of the law.

Even though it was a mistake, She still took something that didn't belong to her and it's her obligation to return it. If she's eventually caught up with then I would expect her to be arrested and charged.
