Wal-Mart employee finds and returns $20,000 to customers


Walmart employee Mensah, who immigrated from Ghana in 2012, had been helping the couple load their purchases in their car. After they began to drive off, he spotted the envelope in the cart. He could tell what was in the envelope because it had a clear address window.
Was he tempted, even for a little bit? "My conscience wouldn’t allow it," he told the Seattle Times. "I couldn’t even drive home if I did that." Wisdom said she called Wal-Mart twice to make sure management was aware of Mensah’s honesty.
The selfless move earned Mensah a commendation from his employer. He was recently given Wal-Mart’s national 2013 “Integrity in Action Award.
While this may seem like a one in a million occurrence, the Web is full of examples of people going out of their way to be honest. Late last year, an Austrian bus driver returned a bag with over $510,000 inside. And this past February, a casino worker came across $10,000 in a restroom.
