Man finds $4500 in his Bojangles bag, is ridiculed by mgmt; hilarity ensues

[Cary Kollins]

So this man orders Bojangles like a real American, only to be served a cold chicken sandwich. He politely requests a little meat with some heat, but instead of the chicken he is given the cheddar. 

 

When he went inside to return the money, instead of being thanked for being forthright, he says a manager there threatened to call the cops.

“The manager came and I said, ‘Can you please tell me as a customer why is this money in a Bojangles box? Whose money is it? And, is this a setup? And suppose I would’ve drove off with money — or, anybody could’ve drove off with this money and didn’t notice until they got home… You know what is this, is this a set up? What is this?’ And so the manager says, ‘If you would’ve drove off, we would’ve called the authorities on you.'”

 

But there is a happy ending to this tale...

 

James said another manager apologized and offered him a tailgate special.

 

I don't now about you, but I'll take a tailgate special over any amount of cash all day err day.

I'd pay $4500 for a Cajun Chicken Fillet

Thats the only thing thing I could open my Bojangles box, see and not want to destroy the earth because its not delicious chicken and biscuits.

Yeah, because they knew they were giving him a box full of money. The reality is that had he gone home and just kept the $, they would have been clueless as to who had it, and the manager would have probably been fired. He should be fired anyway for being an ahole.

[Mr. Scot]

I can't help but wonder if that money was meant for somebody other than him.

Payment for merchandise or services or some such, but whoops, it went to the wrong "customer".

That scenario could also potentially explain why the manager acted weird.

[Jangler]

So the people at BoJangles just think every black guy has drugs to buy? I'd be more pissed about that than getting set up...likely story.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Dude should get free weekly tailgate specials for a year.  Manager was a douche.  If someone returns your 4500 bucks you should be a bit more humble.

They wanted him to sell them some crack. You must not know how drug deals work.... if you get the money then you are the one giving the drugs... ya feel homie?

This happens surprising a lot throughout the country. Managers think they're super clever hiding the money intended for the bank in store bags so it doesn't get stolen, then giving it to customers accidentally. That's why I always put my money in a big sack with a dollar sign on it.
