Ok, I know the correct answer, and because it's so much money I would also give it back, though if it were $2-3 I might just keep it. But think about this...how many times have you driven through McDonald's or some other fast food place and not gotten your complete order? Do you ever just keep driving instead of going back? They made money off you. Nobody got fired for messing up your order, even if it might've ruined your entire night because you were looking forward to your chicken-like tenders.
Also, in the past two weeks, I've been shortchanged twice when getting cash back from my debit card. The first time happened to be at McDonalds. I asked for cash back, got my food, then my card, but not the cash. I didn't realize it until a couple days later, and by then I figured it was too late. Was the cashier hanging onto that 10 dollar bill or did she pocket it and say, "Thanks, sucker!". The second time I caught it before I left the store, but it's not an uncommon occurence.
Anyway, these are just some thoughts...I might be wrong.
(edit: didn't see page 2 and that Empty One said pretty much the same thing as my first paragraph)
(edit2: I don't know about state/national laws, but at the retails store I manage you would never have to make up for a short-changed drawer. You might draw suspicion if it were to happen with some regularity, but it's definitely not a give that every retail store forces you to make up the difference)
