Canadian moral dilema

Roll up the rim etiquette:

If someone bought you a coffee and you rolled up and won something what would you do?

What if it was a coffee or donut vs. a big prize?

What if they didn't know or see you roll it up?

What would you expect if you were the one who bought someone else a coffee and they won the 10 grand or car?

I haven't won squat but my Dad brought me a mocha and I was thinking what would I do if I'd won something.

    Roll up the rim etiquette:

    If someone bought you a coffee and you rolled up and won something what would you do?

    What if it was a coffee or donut vs. a big prize? If coffee/doughnut, I'd keep it but then make sure I buy them a coffee at a later date (just because really, who would take it back? that'd probably be sorta cheap/tacky if they said, yes they want it). Big prize, if family, I'd want to split it (i.e. if it's a car, sell it and split), if it was a friend, I'd want them to have it. I could never feel right about keeping any of it. 

    What if they didn't know or see you roll it up? Wouldn't change my answer.

    What would you expect if you were the one who bought someone else a coffee and they won the 10 grand or car? I would expect them to keep it, and think it was fully within their right to do so, however, if they offered, I'd suggest splitting. 

    I haven't won squat but my Dad brought me a mocha and I was thinking what would I do if I'd won something. Ha if it was my dad, I'd keep it no matter what size prize (and he would never let me give it to him), but I sure would buy him a nice gift later if it was a big prize).

  • I agree with Danielle 100%
  • Hilarious question yet so applicable haha! 

    What if it was a coffee or a donut vs. a big prize?

    If it was a coffee or doughnut I would do the same as danielle....keep it and buy the friend a coffee later on as a thank you in the first place. I'd probably buy them a coffee regardless of if I won anyways though. If it was something bigger I would split it cause guilt would eat me alive!

    What if they didn't know or see you roll it up?

    Honestly if I had gone home with the coffee and rolled it up at a later time my answer maaaay be different. I would still buy them the coffee as a friendship gesture later but I don't know if I'd be so quick to split as before...oh wow I'm an awful person for even potentially thinking like that?

    What would you expect if you were the one who bough someone else a coffee and they won the 10 grand or car?

    I would fully expect them to keep it, however I may hint hint that if they go on a vacay with the coin I want in! haha

    Btw. I won a coffee but DH hasn't won squat and he hasn't missed a day...brutal. Oh and if it was my dad who bought me the winning cup he would definitely say "keep the prize!" and I'd buy him something nice later.

    This is almost exactly what I would do.  Except if it was my dad who bought me the coffee and I won the car,  I would give him the car.  DH and I have two new cars and my parents need a new one.  I would give them the car.

    I'll answer my own poll.  :)

    When I was working still Tims runs were a daily thing and we had a rule that it would be split between the person who rolled up and who ever paid for that round if it was a big prize all donuts/coffees belonged to the roller.

    If it was a friend outside of work I think I'd do the same thing.  While I wouldn't expect to be shared with if I bought the coffee for a friend I would hope they would.

    I am 90% sure I would pipe up and share and not keep my mouth shut but who knows for sure ;)
