After going through the drive-through at Burger King in Rochester, New
Hampshire, on Friday, a local woman discovered that instead of the sweet
tea and junior spicy chicken sandwich that she ordered, she got a bag
full of money.
Rather than keeping the cash, totaling $2,631, she went back to the
restaurant with her husband and returned it.
At round 4:30pm Janelle Jones, of Rochester, had ordered a drink and a
sandwich at the drive-through of the North Main St. restaurant. She was
driving home when she discovered that the sandwich bag was actually full
of cash, and there was no food inside.
Jones called her husband, Matthew Jones, who suggested she come home so
they could return the money together. At home, the couple inspected the
bag and found the cash, most of which was inside two bank deposit bags.
There was also a loose $100 bill.
Matthew Jones admitted, “We are not perfect human beings,” and said the
couple had considered the possibility of keeping the money, adding they
could have certainly used the cash.
When they returned the money about an hour later, the employees of the store were extremely thankful, he said.
“It felt a lot better than keeping it,” said Matthew Jones.
Store employees at Rochester's Burger King confirmed the incident but
chose not to comment on the story.
“One person said 'they were going to get fired' so it felt good knowing
we helped them keep their jobs,” Janelle said.
“A manager told me they would give me five free meals,” Janelle added.
“The manager said he talked to the corporate office and they said to
tell me 'thank you.'”
