    Funny, I dealt a LOT with our local GW and the always laughed about those stories as those are far and few between.
    Generally they make it into the employees pocket or if the employee is dumb enough to turn it to managment then management keeps them.
    One of the employees there was at the bale line, all day just bailing textiles that are unsellable.
    She said, she found money EVERY SINGLE day. Sometimes a few bucks, sometimes more. The most ever was $2,200.
    They have a trick to feel the clothing withtout checking pockets, so management won;t get on them for slowing down.
    Time is Money - Crunch the Numbers - It's a Numbers Game!
