Chick-fil-A Employee Finds Nearly $10K in Restroom

April 8, 2026

On April 3, a Chick-fil-A employee at a restaurant in Kinston, North Carolina, found nearly US$10,000 on the floor next to a toilet in the men’s restroom, according to 5 WCSC News.

Jaydon Cintron said he was taking his normal work break when the teenager found two white envelopes. One was labeled First Citizens Bank and contained $5,000, and another was labeled Truist Bank and contained $4,333.

The restaurant attempted to review the security video to identify who the money belonged to. However, the money’s owner came forward Monday morning to accept the cash.

The owner gave Cintron a $500 reward for his good deed.
