Mrs. Joann Oliver of Jackson ordered a sandwich from a local fast food restaurant on Wednesday, and was surprised when she saw what the employees included as her side. According to WSB-TV, when Oliver opened the bag to retrieve her sandwich, she grabbed a hold of a large stack of cash. Stashed underneath the sandwich was a whopping $543.10.
Upon finding the cash, Oliver notified the police who then went to the restaurant to investigate. WSB-TV noted that one of the employees accidentally put the daily deposit from the cash register into the woman's sandwich bag.
