    Well, most of the money moral dilemmas are fairly hard to choose, but I think this one is completely clear cut. You have to give their money back, or you'd be stealing from your friends!
  • I would let everyone know that I had found the voucher but would keep the money and use it as a basis for a drinks kitty after all you have paid the money so you dont have it.
  • Oh, these are getting too easy, Martin! I'd hand back the money to my friends at the beginning of the meal. Chances are, they'll spend it on drinks, etc. that are not normally included in set price meals. So they get a cheaper night out, I get lots of thank you's and we all have a better time for it. So no guilt for me, and when it's someone else's turn to organise the next meal I can rib them endlessly about having got such a fabulous deal previously!
  • I'd just hand it over at the end of the meal.

    The refunds assume that the meal was paid for in advance, but as I never go anywhere with my friendship group that requires paying in advnace there would never be a refund. There would just be the sweet surprise of everyone paying £5 less than they expected regardless of what they got ;)

    But no, i'd not pocket it in the unlikely circumstance that we had paid in advance. Thats appaling behaviour! I'd still just hand it over at the end with the bill to cover the drinks bill, and I know that would be fine within my friendship group ;)
  • Give them back their fiver without a shadow of doubt. Hey this is a no brainer. As for buying them a drink with their own money and then telling them! You had better hope that nobody has brought a rope with them. One of the easier dilemma's.
  • Chris - it depends on the dynamics of the group you are dining with IMO

    I know perfectly well if it came to bill paying time and I announed to my group of three friends 'Hey, i've got £20 off the bill here' my group would go 'excellent, no wine to pay for!'
  • I can't imagine why you're even asking the question. Of course I'd give them their money back. It's a complete no brainer. It would be completely immoral otherwise - I'd choke on my dinner.
  • Of course you offer everyone their money back - after all it's what you would want them to do if it was them organising the night out - unless of course you want to have the task of organising every do from here on in!

    :beer:ask them want money back or put towards bottles wine for meal or maybe buy items to organize a raffle to raise money for future night out outing for everyone
