Worker fired for not handing in found money quickly enough

A Wal-Mart employee of 18 years has been fired for not turning in money he found fast enough.

Maintenance Worker Michael Walsh initially found a $5 note in the parking lot he was working at and handed in the money instantly. He then returned to work in the parking lot, and found a small stack of $10 and $20s. There was no envelope in the vicinity, so it was not possible to identify the owner of the money, The Hamilton Spectator reports.
