Sorry I don't agree with you. A drug dealer nor any criminal would ever tell her it was for hers to keep. If she really approached the individual to remind him of what he had left behind and he told her no you keep it. That would have been good enough for me, it's mine. Now if she had found it and had not made contact with the owner of the package then I'd say you may have a point.

Holy crap, I have to agree with reverse here....once ownership of the package was transferred to her by the "owner" then her responsibility to investigate ends.
For eg: do you sp's investigate any tips left to you by your customers? I know the $$$ amount is different but the principal is the same.
Then again, if the money was obtained by selling dope, when does it stop becoming dope money? When the waitress gets it and spends it? When the police get it and spend it?
What I mean is, why is it morally "ok" for the police to use it to buy something yet not the waitress? If the "sin" is the fact that it was gotten by the sale of drugs......If the police are going to take the moral high ground and say "you can't have it because it was obtained by crime" then they TOO shouldn't take it.....it should be disposed of.
Along those same lines, the police couldn't even donate it to charity because that doesn't dispense with the fact that it is tainted money. The only solution would be to burn it....(but that too is a crime lol)

Tips
I had a recent experience happen when I went out for a meal. My companion and I had a meal at Cora's and when it came time to pay, I asked the server if I pay her, or the cashier. She told me to pay at the cashier.
Ok fine, so I left the server's tip where I was sitting... it was a $5 bill.
Now, as we were leaving I was standing at the cashier's desk and I notice another server cleaning off our table. Then I saw her take the $5 bill and walk it over to the cashier and put it away somewhere under the counter. She acted very normally and didn't appear to be hiding her actions, so, I assume she was not stealing the tip. A least I hope not.
I've worked in restaurants years ago and one of the main rules, was you don't touch another server's tips.
Maybe these servers have good trust between them, or maybe they work on a tip share system, so it doesn't matter WHO picks up the tip.
Anyhow, since I worked for tips years ago, I've always been careful that the person who served me got their tip.
Anyhow, that was my experience and I've been wondering about it since then... do any of you know if Cora's works on a tip share system?
Do you care who gets the tip?

A lot of places are using a tip pool system these days.
It only works if all the severs are on the same level performance wise.
And they rarely are.

Yup. When I was a server I worked my ass off and I would be dammed if any of the other bums got one cent of my tips. I could go home some nights with $300 cash in my pocket, others only made $50. There are tricks to get tipped well, most servers have no idea what they are.
ALWAYS go back to the bar with empty glasses
Keep the table clean, including wiping spilled beer
Ask if they want another when the bottle or glass is 1/3 full. Before that you look greedy, after that they are kept waiting.
ALWAYS smile and be in a good mood
Don't talk too much
Keep ashtrays empty
Resolve complaints immediately, (even if it comes out of your own pocket)
Push bottles rather than pitchers
Boys drink more than girls (usually)
Remove food as soon as it is eaten
Offer samples
WORK YOUR ASS OFF
Not hard really.

Fuck, I wish my wife would follow these rules.
I hear sometimes the restaurant owners take the tips and piece them off keeping a share of the earnings.
New York (CNN)The service must have been pretty good.
A waitress at a steakhouse in New York City was shocked to learn that one of her favorite customers had left her a hefty tip in his will -- $50,000.
"I did not see it coming," Maureen Donohue-Peters said Tuesday. "Shocked when I got the call."
The gift came from Robert Ellsworth, a prominent art dealer and ultimate regular at Donohue's, a steakhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Workers at the restaurant say he was there nearly every day, twice a day, for more than 50 years.
"He was more than a customer," Donohue-Peters said. "He was a dear friend of mine."
Donohue-Peters, who also owns the steakhouse where she waits tables, said she's known Ellsworth her entire life. He was a friend of her father's, the original owner of the restaurant.
Ellsworth also left $50,000 for Donohue-Peter's niece, who waits at the restaurant one night a week, the waitress said.
"Just like Bobby," said Maxwell Hearn, a longtime friend and chairman of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Asian Art. "He's a person who is capable of really grand gestures."
Donohue-Peters, 53, remembers Ellsworth as a wonderful man and called the windfall very nice, "but I prefer to have the man here instead of that," she said.
Ellsworth died in August at 85, according to an obituary in The New York Times.
The Times once dubbed him the "King of Ming" for his vast collection of Asian works.
Ellsworth donated and dealt art to some of the world's top museums, including the 1975 sale of a suite of Ming Dynasty furniture to the Metropolitan Museum of Art that went on to inspire what would become the Astor Chinese Garden Court and Ming furniture room, said Hearn, who himself dined with Ellsworth at Donohue's.
In March, a collection of art belonging to Ellsworth sold at Christie's auction house for $134 million and set four world auction records -- "a testament to Mr. Ellsworth's unparalleled eye and diverse interests in art," the company said.
The steakhouse, too, holds many relics of the generous collector, including his favorite booth and the red stirrer straws that always swirled in his signature Jim Beam, Donohue-Peters said.
For Ellsworth, it was always a grilled cheese and bacon for lunch and a sirloin steak for dinner, according to Bruno Blazina, a neighbor who helps out at the restaurant in the mornings.
"He would always eat half and save the other for his dog," Blazina said.
Donohue-Peters said she would want people to remember Ellsworth for his generosity -- something she and her niece, and perhaps his dog, know about firsthand.
