I noticed when going through drivethroughs there is a lot of change laying on the ground below the pay window. The drive through is always busy. The change is laying in the dirt and gravel. There probably is 5 dollars in change there. The change is laying undser the donation slot. Would you take the change on the ground or put it in the donation slot. I personally would take the change but would feel like an idiot picking up all that change in front of the window. I honestly dont know when I could grab the change without holding up traffic.

I was just thinking about this on Wednesday when I was at the Chick-fil-A drive through and the cashier dropped one cent of my change... I thought about going back at night to get what I was sure was a copper cent.

I am pretty sure that the employee who's side-work for the night is sweeping outside has his hands allover it.

Whats sad is these employees sweep the change and dump the stuff along the McDonalds in the cedar chips. If I went to grab the change I would be messing up the cedar too. I'm very tempted to go there and grab em. If they ask what I'm doing Ill say picking up free money.

I'd seriously consider just wandering around there with a metal detector and act surprised when you hit the jackpot!

Go at night and pick it up. :)

You could drop a cent next you are there and get out and pick it up...along with a few more. Say needed it for some reason.

Pull off to the side and look around for some kid. Tell the kid about the money there and tell the kid if he goes for it you'll split it with him.
Go to a pet store and purchase a monkey. Train the monkey to pick up coins. Go to that place, point to the area and let the monkey go for the coins.
Fall out of the car and pretend to have a hart attack on the ground by the window where the coins are at. Pick up all the coins, act as if you just recoverd, get in your car a drive away.
