Over the past year, hundreds of you have asked Whistleblower for help. While we can't investigate each tip, we want to share more of what you tell us. In 2009, we started publishing a few tips each week to stimulate online discussion and create ways for our readers to help each other. Unlike our news stories, we have not verified this information, so we do not include the names of the parties involved. If you have a tip, send it to whistleblower@startribune.com. A customer shopping at a Richfield chain grocery store wanted to do the right thing when she found a $20 bill on the floor before Christmas, so she brought it to a cashier.
"I'd have felt very happy if I would have known that belonged to somebody and they got it back just before Christmas," she said.
A couple days later she went back and asked if anybody had claimed it. No one had, so she asked if she would be able to keep it then. A store employee said the $20 had been donated, but the customer is skeptical.
"Somebody told me I was stupid for even turning it in," she said. "Now I think I was."
Do you think the store should abide by the finders-keepers rule?
