Someone Dropped 50 Yen

The other day at work after lunch I got an email from one of the office ladies.


Apparently someone dropped 50 yen by the vending machine and she was sending out an email to the entire floor saying that if anyone wanted to claim it to go speak to her. 50 yen in the rough equivalent of 50 cents so this email really shows something about Japanese culture. In the USA, anyone would just pick up that 50 cents and not feel guilty about it.

I guess this type of thinking is one of the subtle things I will miss when I go back to America.
