I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

One of our last reservations tonight was a table of young people, I’d guess 17, 18, 19, and they were seated at the chef’s table.  They were very nicely behaved and ordered well.  Mom did arrive just after entrees were delivered and stayed and paid the check. 

One of the kids ordered a drink from the bar.  I didn’t ask but I certainly hope that the server carded him.

They were very pleasant, stayed far longer than I thought they would, as they were the second to last table to leave for the evening.

I thanked them as they were leaving, and went back to my laptop.

Fast forward 90 minutes and I’m closing up the restaurant.  I go into the lobby to plug the IPad in to charge overnight and I see a wallet on the host stand.  No one had mentioned finding a wallet, but they left it where they were supposed to. 

I open the wallet and it belongs to the young person who made the reservation for tonight for the 4 top.  I know this because his ID is front and center like it would be in most wallets.  

I don’t know why I checked the wallet, but I looked in one of the pockets and what would you know it was another ID. 

The first ID which was a photo of him said he’d turn 21 in 2024. 

The second ID said he was 22 and was born in 2000. 

I thought to myself hmmm…..

Do I keep the fake ID?  Or do I return it to the wallet and say nothing?

19 year old Jeff would have been very happy to have the ID returned to him. 

Rule following, 57 year old Jeff said to keep the ID and tell him to be more careful next time. 

WWJD? 

I put the ID back.  But he won’t be able to get the wallet until I get there tomorrow. 

So, here is my question:

What would you do?
