    A question for the masses.

    The Setup:
    You are driving from Point A to Point B and decide to stop at a random international fast food chain to pick up a snack to ward off impending peckishness. You place your order at the drive thru speaker and proceed to the pickup window.
    Your total is $4.00 even.
    You hand the cashier a $20.00 bill.
    You receive your drink.
    You receive your bag of food.
    You receive your change.
    You drive off.
    You stop at a discreet part of the parking lot to put away your change and check that your order is correct.
    Your order is correct.
    You have received one $10.00 bill, one $1.00 bill, and two $5.00 bills as change.
    You have received $21.00 change from a $20.00 bill for a $4.00 order.
    You have received an extra $5.00 bill.
    You look at the drive thru line and there are 7 cars stacked up waiting to order.

    The Question is, "What would you do?"
    1) Get back into the queue and face the possibility of a 20-45 minute wait to return the $5.00.
    2) Return the $5.00 at a later time when there are fewer people waiting to place an order.
    3) Keep the $5.00.


    What I did: (Read after voting in the poll)

    I chose option 2. I went back later and returned the $5.00.

    Except that it is longstanding policy that if you walk up to a drive thru window, they will close it and ignore you.

    Give the extra $5 to a charity; they need it more that certain international fast food businesses.

    These guys are charging you several dollars for example for a Pepsi that costs them a few cents to make; I think they can survive without a few dollars lost because of their mistake.

    Didn't know that.
    It's a security thing. People were walking up to drive thrus, acting like they were going to order and then diving in and robbing the place. So, no more walk ups.
