After finding P10,000.00 cash in a hotel safe, you:

• Turn it in to the front desk so the hotel can notify the previous occupant.

• Consider it yours unless the previous occupant calls during your stay. If that happens and the front desk calls to ask you about it, you will turn it in.

• You believe in the finders-keepers philosophy, so you keep the cash. You don’t want to give the cash to the front desk who will probably just pocket the cash anyway. 

After dinner, the waitress brings your check. When you realize she forgot to add dessert and coffee to the bill, you:

• Pay the bill. It was their mistake. 

• Call her over and tell her she forgot to add the dessert and coffee.
