This morning on our way back from working out at the downtown YMCA we stopped by our favorite local video store, Wild and Woolly, to return the 3rd season of Weeds. The rental was to be returned by 9:30pm last night in order to avoid the late fee of one dollar. We arrived at the store before they opened thus the drop-box was our only option.

For some odd reason I thought about attempting to pay the late fee by inserting a dollar into the DVD case. Therefore, the worker who collected the videos this morning has a choice to make when they open the case to check that the disc is there.

• Use the dollar to pay my late fee.
• Or pocketing the one dollar for personal gain.

I’m hoping that next time I’m in to rent a video I don’t have a late fee. But if I still have to pay the late fee I won’t mind (although I will be a bit sad). I’m hoping to find that humanity is good and that my fee has been paid!

What do you think the outcome will be?
