Well, I've been given a dollar extras or two for a change... I just assumed it was a special discount for me :P As long as I say thank you very much or thank you for everything.
America drinks the most coffee . Lets have this experiment here in the u.s. I want to see what we would do lol . Economy is bad... We'd probably keep the change lol
honest. something my parents taught me to be, i personally think some people believe honesty is loosely based around ,the severity and punishment and chances/risk of being caught. or confrontations. We know when where wrong
If a small store gave me too much change I would give it back. But if a bank, large supermarket or petrol station gave me too much change, I would take it and never look back.
i just think that banks should be on the other side of these coffee consuming model. we are those who keep the banks running and they need us just as much but will they be as honest?
I find it a bit rich taking a banks opinion on what honesty is. Haven't you done enough social experiments on us already - the fact we still let you create currency out thin air via loans should be enough to show you that not only will we give the change back...we'll let you create it out of nothing and then charge us interest on it. Honesty would be full disclosure of banks as to who received bailout cash from the US Federal Reserve, and how much. A pathetic industry drowning in its own vomit.
Pitty banks aren't that honest about where new money comes from. To this day 99% of people leave school/UNI without ever knowing the answer to that one.
Most people actually believe banks loan depositor's funds, when the reality is depositor's funds are only a fraction of the "loans".
I'm American and I always give back the change if it's incorrect. I think especially if you've worked a cash register and gotten in trouble for a short till count, you gain a different perspective.
walking in the shops the other day with my kids.saw a scrunched up 50 behind a bunch of young girls in front of a key cutting kiosk. picked it up and asked if 1 of the girls had dropped it. unfolding it revealed it was fake.left it on the kiosk.10 mins later past the same kiosk and saw the note scrunched up,back on the floor.looked at the fella behind the counter "you put that there?".he smiled and nodded.wonder how many notes he lost.interesting social experiment
well does Taxi drivers count because Melbourne Taxi drivers will rip there own mothers off, every yr without a doubt, and as for Tassy Taxi drivers, they are the kings of the road the guy didn't have change for a $50 So i asked him to come back at 3pm take me back to Hotel and he did total trip was $46 now how could you not say keep the chance.
I work at a music shop in Queensland and I accidently gave the woman 2 $20 notes instead of just one. She obviously knew I gave her the wrong change, because she just stood there staring at it but proceeded to put it in her bag. Luckily, before she did, I said "Oh, I gave you the wrong change" and took the $20 off of her. I was not trying to perform my own experiment but was very surprised that she didn't say anything. I think Queenslanders are dishonest people. It's quite embarrassing.
WOW, yeah right NAB, keep "trying" to clean your image.
Isn't it funny how you spend all this cash on adds to tell us your honest, when the money could have gone to the littel people who are currently sueing you!
Funny how you have never given a cent that you have stolen from me back, yet you want me to think you have changed. The NAB has stolen hundreds from me, money that now goes to Advertising Agencies.
Pity banks aren't honest about where they get the 'money' they "lend" you... they are exploiting people's honesty to make MASSIVE profits based on dishonesty.
Ok, here's a question for you... If Australians are that honest, Why Oh Why, OH WHY do all the major retail shops in Australia (Target, BigW etc) ask to check customers bags as they exit their stores?
Perhaps someone could explain why the Commonwealth bank stole $122 from my account last December. They lost all my initial paperwork complaining about it. Six months later I got it back with no apology or explanation after numerous visits to them. Aussies honest yes, Commonwealth Bank much less so.
I would probably not return the extra change, not because i'm not honest, but because i usually trust the other people so i just put the change back in my wallet he he he.
@185139 yet more advertising :( , I did the same.... searching for something nowhere near this..... Bloody banks are clever, thats why they post multi billion $ profits like CBA did today...
@yuena4 haha thats funny and people in sydney are general more wealthy than melbournians too, i rekon about 80% of melbourne are on the doll or at uni living off miegoreng haha :)
This says nothing about Austrialians. This says something about people who have enough money to spend on daily "gourmet" coffee. I'd like to see the same experiment with a different social class.
@xhalcha definately not actors, you can tell the difference, the awquardness of the man in the furred coat haa helarious, i could never be that mean to someone even if i was paid to be! its so true though most aussies are honest. so proud NOT come from a country to have created "WWE smackdown" haha
Are you kidding me ?? The corupt Banksters who are helping to destroy the world economy are "testing us" to see if we're honest ??? PPPffffff please !!!!! PROPAGANDA
My gf was in a similar situation except she hid the 20 and told him he charged her too little. Then she stole his sunglass while he got more money to give her. Bless her soul....
