Title: McD's employee returns $185,000 check

For once, news that doesn't make you want to run over a prostitute. A burger slinger returns found check and receives $50 for his effort; not too shabby of a reward for something that he couldn't have cashed anyway.

Well.. if you were unlucky the owner of the cash could have tracked his bills by their serial numbers.

I think $50 is f*cking pathetic. It probably cost $60 just to stop payment on the thing.

Hahah.. or at least give him a raise. You know 8 out of 10 Fry-Handlers would have tried
to cash that check. This guy is a keeper! :lol:
