Chick-fil-A Worker Returns Nearly $10,000 Found in Bathroom, Accepts $500 Reward

The worker credits his faith for returning the cash.

Overview

  • Jaydon Cintron, 18, at a Chick-fil-A in Kinston, North Carolina, found nearly $10,000 in two bank-labeled envelopes in the men’s restroom on Good Friday.
  • Instead of keeping the cash, he took it to the restaurant’s human resources office and said his faith led him to do the right thing.
  • Chick-fil-A staff and Kinston police reviewed security video to find the owner but could not identify the person at first.
  • The rightful owner later reclaimed the money and offered Cintron a $500 reward, which he declined several times before accepting.
  • Kinston’s police chief and the franchise owner praised Cintron’s integrity, highlighting his example as the kind of conduct the store aims to uphold.
