Joey Prusak had just finished serving one of his regular customers when the visually impaired man unknowingly dropped a $20 bill from his pocket. A woman in line behind him quickly picked up the money – and then put it in her purse.

“She picked it up so quickly that I thought she was going to give it back but she just stood there and waited,” Prusak told TODAY.com. “I was extremely confused when she let the man walk by. She just stood there and put it in her purse and I was like, ‘Really?’

Prusak, 19, said the experience left him feeling “violated.” After taking a few seconds to compose himself, he politely asked the woman to give the money back. The woman refused, insisting the money was hers. Prusak asked her again but got the same response.

That’s when Prusak asked the woman to leave.
