What would you do?


I just ran out of pennies in the register, so I grabbed another roll out of the safe. It felt a little weird (more flexible than usual), but it said pennies so I didn't question it. But when I tore it open and dumped it into the register drawer, out came about 10 pennies and the rest were dimes. O_o

So now I have a bit of a conundrum. See...I could leave the pennies in the drawer along with 4 of the dimes, giving me the 50 cents in my drawer that was expected, but leaving me with about $4 worth of dimes extra. Now the thing is, this roll has been in the safe for probably a couple weeks. It's been counted dozens of times as if it was 50 cents. So as long as I put 50 cents into the drawer, the store won't actually know there was anything other than 50 pennies. I could pocket the extra dimes and nobody would be the wiser.

But I don't generally steal from my employers as that obviously tends to turn out poorly in every case I've witnessed. But in this case, am I really stealing from my employer? I mean...they expected 50 cents and that's exactly what they'd get. So the only person actually losing anything here would be the bank we get our change from, who would be losing it regardless of my choice.

What would you do? Would you keep the extra, or would you just put it all in the drawer?
