Loose Change

[DWS]

I was in our local shopping centre at Lunchtime queuing to pay for something. The 20 something girl with a baby in a buggy dropped her purse spilling a load of change on the floor. She picked up the higher value coins but left 54p in silver and copper. Just walked off!

I picked it up and gave it to the army chap who was collecting.


How much would you consider not picking up?

OK. To get this back to what I was meaning. She was a young mother, dropped her purse, picked up the higher value coins, was in a queue for about 5 minute's, didn't seem at all embarrassed about picking up, but left the lower value coins.

In this so called age of "austerity" don't people value 54p? I do! OK she might be minted, I have no idea,(doubt it, as she was buying two watches for 10 quid) but leaving 54p on the floor? WTF!

Is money that worthless?

And no, I'm not fantastically rich, just "Comfortable" with my earnings.

Why didn't you give it back to her? (Or at least offer it to her?)

'cause....... "She just walked away". If the bint can't be arrsed to pick up ALL of the coins whilst she was down there she didn't deserve it back. Help for hero's are 54p better off.
