A street vendor selling toast in Sivas experienced great astonishment when he noticed that a customer had accidentally sent him 600,000 TL. Demonstrating exemplary behavior, the vendor reached out to the customer and returned the money, earning admiration for his actions.
On a busy street in Sivas, Zeynel Engin, who runs a toast shop, prevented a significant loss by noticing a mistake made by a customer. A customer who came to eat toast with a friend attempted to pay a bill of 600 TL but accidentally sent 600,000 TL to Zeynel Engin's account instead.
HE WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE CHECKED HIS ACCOUNT
Later, while checking his account transactions, Engin noticed the large amount and initially experienced great astonishment. Realizing that his customer had mistakenly sent such a high amount, Engin immediately took action. He reached out to the phone number of the customer he had known before, explained the situation, and stated that he wanted to return the money. Engin's act of returning the excess amount was appreciated by the citizens.
"I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO"
Zeynel Engin stated that he was surprised when he saw the money in his account, saying, "A customer who had come here before came back. The cost of the toast he ate, along with ayran, was 540 TL. The customer, who was getting up to pay the bill, said to me, 'You are not a stranger,' and that he would send me 600 TL. Later, when I checked my account, I saw that instead of 600 TL, 600,000 TL had been deposited. Seeing the large amount, I reached out to the customer and said I would send the money back. At first, I was very surprised to see such a high amount and didn't know what to do. The next morning, I delivered the money to the customer. People should behave like this; it is necessary to return what belongs to someone. If we act this way, we will win," he said.
