I found $50 dollar bill on the ground in the parking lot. I still have it and I am debating whether to give it to the service desk. I found a $5 dollar bill one time but I kept it but $50 is a lot and I don't want to get in trouble and lose my job. Please give me advice on this matter.
I'd take it to the office, but I would make sure that the money was put in an envelope with my name on it saying I found it. If no one comes to claim after a couple weeks, the money should go to you. Of course Kroger might say that since you're an employee, the money belongs to Kroger if no one claims it. So what I would do is I would have a friend, who doesn't work for Kroger, turn the money in. Make sure there are plenty of witnesses around so no one can conveniently make the money disappear.

Couldn't I just turn it in and have my friend say it was his? Seems less suspicious to me.
I found a $20 bill on the floor one time. I'm an honest person so I turned it into the service desk. If I had kept it, my conscience would've haunted me.

But it would also be deceitful. At least with the other way, if the real owner comes back, they'll get their money back. What you're proposing is dishonest, and if you're going to do that, you may as well keep the money and hope nobody finds out.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...........YALL R LAME. SEND ME ALL YOUR $$ RIGHT NOW. WHAT THE FK U THINK MGMT DOES WHEN U DUMB ASSES TURN IT IN POCKET IT OF COURSE....THEN LAUGH AT YO STUPID ASS
The right thing to do is turn it in to the store manager. Always make decisions as if you are being watched. You never know where video cameras are especially in the newer stores. Unfortunately, you might not get to claim it even if it isn't claimed by someone else. Any money found at our store would be put into a fund for flowers for when someone has a relative pass away or they get real sick.
You will sleep better. Your manager will be impressed by your integrity and honesty. I am impressed you didn't spend it yet.
Legally, there is a low limit on what police can charge a person for theft. Not sure if $50 qualifies. I read an article where a guy found an envelope with $2000 in a bank parking lot. The police called him a couple of days later after watching bank video. I think they wanted to charge him with felony theft.
I once found a 100 bill and 2 twenty bills on the floor, took em to management----turns out one of the managers herself had dropped them. Bitch didn't even thank me, just said oh I wondered where those went.

You could always put an ad in the newspaper saying you found some money in Kroger's parking lot and when someone calls, ask them to tell you how much, what denomination, and when they lost it. Of course now that you've already mentioned on the internet that you found the money, if you post an ad now, someone who visits this website and sees your ad might say the money is theirs, even if it's not.
. If I was off the clock, I'd be $50.00 richer. If I was on the clock... I'd be $50.00 richer. If you turn it in, it gets put into a "kitty" and kept. However if you keep it, it's theft. If you turn it in and kroger keeps it, it's also theft, but that's ok because it's policy to turn it in. I have found $100.00 outside and $50.00 inside once on the same day. That $150.00 went to help buy a nice birthday gift for my brother.

I am the OP. I made this story up because I was bored. I've made up half of the stories on this forum because I thought it was amusing that people are falling for this ****.

I am also a lip quivering chicken dinner lickin faggot who enjoys long walks at the park, sex on the beach and creamy choad-loads dripping from my lips like Betty Crocker fresh frosting
If someone came up to me and asked me if I found it, in which case, I'd give it to them. I have had the situation where I found $150 on the ground. I picked it up and shortly after had a gentleman ask me If I had found $150 on the ground. I said "yeah" and gave it to him.

I found $20 on the ground about a year ago. I didn't even consider not keeping it. Now if someone came up to me and said they lost $20 that would be one thing, but no way was I turning it in.

Ida pulled out the 20, said "did it look like this? ---Naw I aint seen it" and walked away laughing. You grown and lettin sh!t fall oucho pockets unaware? Maybe you need a bib when you eat too
Dammmmmn kneegrows I be findin a hunren one time and some old lady with a walker came up and said "sonny have you seen my food money for a month, it was a 100 dollar bill". I was like beatttccchh doez I b lookn like da lost and ma****in found and where da 40 acres and mule atz. Bitch done walked away and I be laughin all da way to da hood.
One time I found a small duffle bag back behind my store. I wasn't even going to touch it at first----there were stains and swatches of obvious still-drying blood all over it. But of course curiosity over came me, and I used a stick to poke around on it. You probably know where this is going.
Sure enough, it was filled almost completely full of rolled and wadded up cash---tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds. Man, I was in a real dilemma and I had to think and decide quick. Call the cops right there on the spot? Take it to management, have them call the cops? Walk away like I never saw anything in the first place?-----That last part was especially tempting because, whoever had dropped this, there was no doubt bad people were attached to its origin....and attempt at recovery. Tough decision and not much time to make it.
It was a little over 300 K and I'm still enjoying it, nineteen and a half months later. The trick has been to disperse it around a variety of banks, withdraw modestly and infrequently, and spend it in a wide variety of places.
LP at my store has a real boner for hounding employees. Sometimes, they will just sit in the breakroom demanding receipts all day.
I don't think they've set out bait cash before, but I'm always paranoid about being on camera pocketing something. So it goes to a manager, or into the drawer with a note.
If it's outside, the cameras covering the front of the store have actually been removed. The one on the side of the store can't see anything.
You're probably safe, but you have to decide whether your job is worth $50. To some courtesy clerks, that would a deal and a half.
That's why if I had product with me and it came from another store (like Walmart) I'd make sure the store name is showing. If LP demanded a receipt is just politely say, "oh, I got this at xxx store. Don't have my receipt. Sorry." And go about my business as nothing happened.
Also if you wish to keep money found, and a camera is in the general area simply act like you are picking up a piece of trash. Them "throw" this "trash piece" away. I saw a cc do that once but didn't say anything to him or management. The way I see it, not my circus, not my monkey, not my business.

Good points.
At my store, you learned certain details. Like, if you found a $20. or $50. on the floor in highly monitored areas like the liquor department, or the back halls any where by the time clock that was your heads-up not to touch. or if you did pick it up, HOLD it up in full view of the cameras and march it straight to the cash office or manager's office.
