Jonathan MacArthur, 35, decided to eat out one Saturday night. He pulled into a drive-up window at MacDonald’s. Hungry as a bear, he ordered a large beef burger, large fries, and a king-size drink. MacArthur got his fast food as well as a big surprise. Stuffed inside one of the paper bags was £2,000! “I looked at the money as I ate. I knew immediately I should give it back,” MacArthur said. But MacArthur did not return the money right off the bat. He went home to sleep on it. “I’ve got to say I was tempted to keep it,” he embarrassedly admitted. MacArthur went down to MacDonald’s the next day to give back the money. Restaurant workers greeted him with tears in their eyes and gave him lunch on the house. They explained that the restaurant puts its bank deposits in paper bags to prevent robberies. By mistake, a clerk gave MacArthur the wrong paper bag. MacDonald’s is happy to give MacArthur a reward. But MacArthur says there’s something even better—he has a clear conscience. “I’m glad I did the right thing. I feel better than I’ve ever felt.”
