If the store finds out the item is stock, it just goes back on the sales floor.
Most times, the item just goes into a lost and found bin or a rack, and if no one claims it in thirty days, it's yours.
And since nobody lost it, nobody will come looking.
No big department sote puts a genius in charge of the
Lost and Found department.
"The books are
never about what you think they are about. Survivor is really about our
education system because I feel, more often than not, kids are sort of
taught or trained to be the best possible cogs in some big corporate machine.
They're not really taught in an empowered way that they can start their
own company so that they can create and run their own lives. They are sort
of taught to be just good employees, to just fit in."
Chuck Palahniuk
