38. why?
if there were couple of grand you could have gone on vacation, fixed your car, bought new appliances. i think i would be dishonest if i scammed them but if it is their own negligence that would result in me getting money i would have to see what kind of place was making the error. a restaurant selling shitty quality high fat food and using underpaid workers, often not even giving benefits is not high on my list of places to be returned the money.
