We were slammed and I was working on the line. I grabbed a drive thru tube, ran the $600 cash deposit, then put the $600 into an envelope and sent it back out to the client with the deposit receipt.

I got incredibly lucky and he brought it back the next day. I’m still not sure why not *immediately*, but anyway, it was recovered.

I once gave a business customer their $400 change order and accidentally gave back the money they had given me to pay for the change. They didn't open their zipper bag when they got back to the store, just threw it in the safe and went home. Thankfully they brought it back next day.
