Congratulations to those of you who are paragons of human virtue and would never take such an offer.

There are many who would say, if only to themselves, they would hand over the cash and take the card. I'm fairly certain, though, even some of those folks would change course at the moment of truth.

It's really not a moral high horse or some "perfect man or a liar" situation. It's just one possible course of action. For me, and others I'm sure, it's the one that makes the most sense.

And sure, there are some who would profess (publicly or otherwise) they'd do the right thing. Then, when the opportunity arose, they would silently grab the card and high-tail it out of there.

Like many "big" decisions in life, we don't really know what we'll do until confronted with the choice. I believe, however, it would be folly to think everyone would make the same choice when presented with a situation like this.
