NAB Honesty Shouldn't Go Unrewarded



From the Daily Mail

The shopping centre prank is the latest in a string of NAB stunts. Another experiment involved the bank building a coffee stand on a busy Melbourne street, where the barista deliberately gave all customers $5 too much in change for their coffees.

Every single person immediately returned the money.

The barista then changed tactics and began insulting customers - asking one lactose-intolerant woman when she ‘decided she had that condition’, and telling a smartly dressed young man that he would no longer fit into his suit if he kept drinking moccas.

Despite the obnoxious comments 91 per cent STILL returned the extra change.

I find it completely normal and typical of a bank to do this, they do have all our money!

This merely reflects humanity's honest grasp of reality.

In the end the banks will win!

I forgot to say;
Kindness, seen by a human, is almost always regarded as a kind of weakness in another human.

Such IS the life of all humans.

Never sell yourself too cheap. Most people have a price and it is more than $5.

I'm curious if the result would have been the same if they did the experiment in Sydney...

Does this mean Diogenes didn't need that lamp after all?
