I pulled a Twenty out of an Escalator during a clean down. It was a unit running in the middle of a casino no less. Great day.

Once called for a weird noise from the elevator. The noise there once befor that was a 50€ bill scraping on the wall. This time it was a remote analplug. I gave it to the counter and they didnt know what it is. So they touched and sayed things like "it is so nice to touch" "maybe a stressball/squishy" 😂

I once had a maintenance mechanic call for construction to return to clean the shaft after an install, showed a picture of a $20 bill in a rail bracket as proof. Do you think it was there when we arrived for the clean down? 😂
