Might be an idea as well to keep the letter they send you with the gift card in your bag in case it happens to you again.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes. I recently found £40 on the floor in one of the aisles in Tesco. I handed it in to customer services who just took the money and put it in the till. I carried on shopping but was feeling slightly aggrieved that nobody had taken my details or even said thankyou. i went back to them after about 10 minutes to ask them to take my details down in case the money was not claimed. I was made to feel that I was being a nuisance but eventually my details were written in a book specifically for this type of situation. (There were no other entries in it) I was then told that if the money is not claimed after 28 days it is given to charity. I know this is going to sound selfish but while I am more than happy for the person that lost the money to get it back, I do not agree with it being given to charity by Tesco if it is not claimed. Surely it should be offered to me and I could give it to charity if I so wished. I checked this with Tescos helpline and was told that yes, that was their policy except it was 6 months not 28 days. It has left me feeling that it doesn't pay to be honest.

Unbelievable! :eek: That really is terrible. I do find money very occasionally, if it's a note I always look around to see if anyone has dropped it but, if not, I keep it or give it to charity. I *never* give it to anyone. If it was more than £20 I would probably hand it in to the police but not to a SA in a shop.

Anytime I find a purse/wallet/anything else, I always hand it in to the police. I have found dozens of purses, usually on the floor in a bar (or outside one) at 2am! :eek: I always hand them in.

I would get a friend/family member to go in and ask if it was handed in, they could claim it was theirs. Worth a go

In this case, I would second your suggestion - otherwise it WILL just be pocketed by someone in Tesco. Really shocked by your story tbh.

A few months ago I found £10 near the cashpoint in the car park of Tesco Axminster. I handed it it in and they logged it. After the designated period I went in and checked and nobody had claimed it, so they gave me the money. The Tesco staff were completely straight up throughout, so I certainly can't reflect the mistrust shown above.

As for the poster saying 'it doesn't pay to be honest', I think you're missing the point of honesty. It wasn't your money in the first place and you've lost nothing, whilst a charity will gain.
