" 'testing' people's principles with the dropped-money test?"
when meeting someone new, and for whatever reason you're on the fence about the 'type' of person they are, how likely are you to put it to the test by 'accidentally' dropping a $20 bill and seeing if they give it back to you.
i got a buddy who is a contractor. he hires and fires his crew based on the $20 test.
he accidentally drops the bill, walks by and back around. if the guy(s) doesn't get his attention, and try to return it - he fires the guy the following week.
he's fired three people with this test. two black on mexican.
i thought the shit was genius and could be applied to so many things people and situations.
what do you think of his behavior? is it a set-up?
are his morals fucked up for testing people like this?

If he has to go around plotting ways to "test" people, then dude is the one with trust issues. Like someone else said, dude assumes that people actually saw him drop the $20, but everyone isn't paying attention like that. He might have fired someone that just saw a $20 on the ground and had no idea where it came from.

The crook will give the money back smoke in your face and steal thousands of equity from you or have a team rob your house. I'm convinced most burglaries are ppl that are "friends".

working there all day i wouldn't even assume it was his. At the same time, it wouldn't necessarily be that big of a deal. I might mention to the dude i found a $20 and i might stuff it in my pocket and forget about it.
Point being there are so many variables involved for thaat to be the reason you fire someone.

I just have no other way to explain why I think intentionally "testing" someone just shows that the person doing the testing has a lack of trust.
I could see if I worked for the CIA or FBI, but a contract job doing some sort of labor? Nah. Dude has issues. The type to give their kids a lie detector test, or have some dude holler at his wife just to see how she responds.

They drive you to the interview site in a hired car. Later the boss or whoever asks the driver how they were treated by the potential employee-- if the driver says they were treated poorly then dude or dudette doesn't get the gig.

its'also not prone to as many mistakes or mishaps.
With the zappos hiring thing, they are judging how you'd treat potential customers/business by how you test other strangers you don't know...i see no issue with this.
but with dropping money...unless he sees them see him drop the money, and then he sees them take the money...how can he assume that they took it and were dishonest? someone else might have been around, saw it and took it. Maybe the person thought it was paper, maybe the person doesn't have sharp eyesight...it's so many factors on how this is fucked up.

I sat next to a girl on the chinatown bus to NYC and she left her purse. I hopped off the bus and waved her down because I would hate for that shit to happen to me.

Folks literally FINDING a bag on the ground (no person around) and before they can even walk off with it (to, you know, maybe call some of the numbers on the phone, or google the name on the license) they lock them up.
