Five dollar lunch line writing prompt

You are in the lunch line and the person in front of you drops a five dollar bill and isn’t aware of it. What do you do? Elaborate on the reasons behind your choices.

If someone in line if front of me dropped a five dollar bill I would simply just pick it up and ask them if it was theirs. Whether they were my friend or not, because lots of people would be standing around being able to witness that they saw me pick up their money and steal it. Just doing that would start lots of drama at school. Besides if I dropped money unnoticed I would appreciate someone telling me and giving it back. If I didn’t like the person I would still consider asking them if it was theirs and giving it back just because it would be nice. I might possibly keep it if I didn’t like them though, and just wait till they walked away and pretended I didn’t see them drop it. Then I would pick it up and keep it. I still like to follow the golden rule, and do unto others as you would like them to do to you.
