Wife just called me with a predicament she's in: As the manager of the store she works at, she's normally responsible for carrying the store keys around. Today, she had to make a trip to the bank, so she left the keys with another associate in case they needed them for anything.
She comes back, and forgets to ask for the keys back. Then employee goes home for the day, with the keys. She needs those keys back to lock up tonight.
If you were in charge, who would you deem is responsible for getting the keys to the store? On the one hand, the manager is in charge and should have asked for them back. Therefore, she should go to the employees house and get them. On the other hand, the other employee had possession of the keys and was responsible for making sure she didn't take them home. Therefore, she should bring them back.
Or they compromise and meet halfway. It's not a short drive, it's something like 20 miles one way between store and employees house.
What would you do?
