[QUOTE=BrianL99;22 If you pay in cash for an item with a $50 bill and when you get home, you found you were only given change for a $20 bill ... who do you call and who do you hold responsible? If you hand cash to a person who is working at a business, that cash is the property of the business.[/QUOTE]

If I pay in cash for an item, I count my change before putting it in my pocket. But, if I didn't, for some strange reason, and when I got home and found an error, I might call the establishment where I purchased the item, but ultimately, the responsibility is mine for failing to check my change. The payment is for the item, remember?
If, however, after paying for the item, I choose to give the server a gift/tip/gratuity for their personal service, that gift is for them and not for would be thieves to take it from them.
