At round 4:30pm Janelle Jones, of Rochester, had ordered a drink and a sandwich at the drive-through of the North Main St. restaurant. She was driving home when she discovered that the sandwich bag was actually full of cash, and there was no food inside. Jones called her husband, Matthew Jones, who suggested she come home so they could return the money together. At home, the couple inspected the bag and found the cash, most of which was inside two bank deposit bags.
There was also a loose $100 bill. Matthew Jones admitted, “We are not perfect human beings,” and said the couple had considered the possibility of keeping the money, adding they could have certainly used the cash. But he said he and his wife are Jehovah's Witnesses, and that “Jehovah sees everything.” When they returned the money about an hour later, the employees of the store were extremely thankful, he said.
“It felt a lot better than keeping it,” said Matthew Jones. Store employees at Rochester's Burger King confirmed the incident but chose not to comment on the story. “One person said 'they were going to get fired' so it felt good knowing we helped them keep their jobs,” Janelle said. “A manager told me they would give me five free meals,” Janelle added. “The manager said he talked to the corporate office and they said to tell me 'thank you.'”

So if it weren't for Jehovah, they would have behaved like pricks?
Keep believing, then.

Dummies, jehovah put it there for them.
It does seem that some people can only do the right thing if they think some supernatural being is watching everything they do, and will punish them if they don't behave. I think that's sad, but there's a lot of that around.
I highly doubt the employee kept his job
I betcha BK would have used their security cameras to grab the plate number which would have led to a house surrounded by police.
