Because he’s a Christian, an 18-year-old Chick-fil-A employee returned $10,000 he found in the bathroom to its rightful owner.
Why didn’t he pocket it? “That’s not what Jesus would have done. That’s not what God would have wanted,” says Jaydon Cintron of Kinston, North Carolina. “Money is useless without character.”
Cintron restores faith in humanity.
Over the Good Friday weekend, he found two white envelopes next to the toilet while on his break, one with around $5,000 that was labeled First Citizens Bank and one with $4,333 labeled Truist Bank.
Immediately he thought of “how devastating it would be to lose something like that, I just wanted to make sure it got back to its owner,” he says.
He turned the money into Human Resources of the famous restaurant chain. “My faith teaches me to do what’s right and to care for others,” Cintron says.
He even turned down a reward. “I don’t want anything out of this,” he said. “I did this because that’s what Jesus would do.”
