Default Change Machine Mistake
Say you put a $20 dollar bill into a change-making machine.
It gave you more than $20 worth of change.
Assume it's a one-time occurence.
At what point would you feel compelled to notify the machine's owner that the machine has malfunctioned?


E.G..EF.G...

Eventually they'd figure it out when I'm waiting for the change guy to show up.

I changed the OP to include the following: "Assume it's a one-time occurence."

How many $20s are in my wallet? I think I'd have to test it more than once you know just to make sure the machine isn't broken.

This makes more sense. You just had, "E.G..EF.G..." originally.
