Change is coming, as Maya Angelou is now officially the first Black woman to be featured on a U.S. quarter, and the first batch of her 25-cent pieces rolled out of the U.S. Mint Monday.

It is well-known (and completely true) San Francisco lore that poet and activist Dr. Maya Angelou was the city's first-ever Black female streetcar conductor. Her 2014 memorial service was a packed house at Glide Memorial Church, and she got a monument at Civic Center, though it had a rocky rollout.

But add another distinction to Maya Angelou’s list. She will now appear on the U.S. quarter, making her the first Black woman to appear on the 25-cent piece. And the U.S. Mint announced Monday that they had “begun shipping the first coins.”

This is the first of the new American Women Quarters series, and according to a U.S. Mint announcement, there will be more. “The additional honorees in 2022 are physicist and first woman astronaut Dr. Sally Ride; Wilma Mankiller, the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation and an activist for Native American and women’s rights; Nina Otero-Warren, a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and the first female superintendent of Santa Fe public schools; and Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood, who achieved international success despite racism and discrimination,” the Mint says.

Angelou is only on the back (tails side) of the quarter, it’s still got George Washington on the front, heads side. But we’re sure that the first time we see that quarter is an experience we will not forget.

“As a leader in the civil rights movement, poet laureate, college professor, Broadway actress, dancer, and the first female African American cable car conductor in San Francisco, Maya Angelou’s brilliance and artistry inspired generations of Americans,” Oakland rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) said in a statement. “If you find yourself holding a Maya Angelou quarter, may you be reminded of her words, ‘be certain that you do not die without having done something wonderful for humanity.'”

On an episode of KQED's Forum earlier this month that focused on the practice of tipping, participants posited that the more affluent a customer is, the more generously he or she will tip. A study of data from San Francisco-based payment processing company Square appears to claim the opposite, however, saying that some of the country's richest states are also home to the nation's stingiest tippers.

So reports Time, looking at millions of credit and debit transactions made through Square "from over 2 million sellers across the country" in July of 2017. Based on that data, the nation's worst tippers can be found in Hawaii, where the average tip percentage is 14.8 percent. the District of Columbia is slightly better, at 14.9 percent, Massachusetts is at 15 percent, and California rounds out the bottom four at 15.2 percent.

The national average is 16.4 percent, Time reports. Idaho tops the tip list, Square says, with an average 17.4 percent gratuity. For the sake of comparison, the San Francisco Chronicle recommends a tip of around 20 percent for most food and beverage services.

Time notes that "Some of the spots with the worst tippers, like Hawaii, the District of Columbia and California, are home to some of the highest earners in the U.S."

"Conversely, Square's ranking shows that residents of some lower-income states, such as West Virginia and Mississippi, handed out some of the most generous tips."

As noted earlier, this information appears contrary to KQED's common assumption that richer people are better tippers — but there might be a good reason for that. According to KQED, that income information comes from a Creditcards.com poll, as opposed to hard data like that from Square.

Via a "scientific telephone poll of 1,002 adults conducted June 22-25, 2017," Creditcards.com says they learned that "Topping the list of best tippers" are men, Republicans, northeasterners, and baby boomers. They also note that "Anyone earning $50,000 or more is likely to leave a bigger tip when getting up from the table. Those at or above that income level have a median restaurant tip of 20 percent. Those making less than that leave a median tip of 15 percent."

But, honestly, who's going to brag about being a crappy tipper to a telephone survey person? I mean, it's hard enough visualizing who even responds to telephone surveys in the first place, so there's that. The proof appears to be in the receipts, and at least at businesses that use Square (those from the July study included Philz, Blue Bottle, Whole Foods, nand many "small businesses," Time reports), those who make more money appear in many cases to be tipping less. Do you agree, my scantily-tipping fellow Californians?

The San Francisco Controller's Office conducted an undercover investigation of cable car operators and on Monday released its finings to Muni’s Board of Directors and the general public. Ding, ding, ding — it's bad.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that during the 17 days of the December 2016 investigation, undercover auditors dressed in fake mustaches plain clothes boarded 30 cable cars on the down low. They reported that 37% of the time, cable car operators didn't bother to collect the $7 cash fare from riders.

According to the report, most of the free rides "occurred either when the rides began mid-route (not from a terminal), during commute hours, and/or when cars were relatively empty. Fares were not collected from CSA auditors most often on the Powell/Mason and Powell/Hyde lines."

NOTED.

Auditors also discovered that operators didn't ask for proof of payment 70 percent of the time, meaning that and estimated 178 people rode a cable car without paying — to the tune of $1,246.

This is the same investigation, you might recall, that discovered two separate and independent cable car operators were pocketing cash fares and laundering the money.

"Over the years, we've used audits like these to pinpoint ways we can improve our cash collection procedures while maintaining flexibility for customers to pay for their ride. We are making changes to promote cashless ways to pay for Cable Car service, including the use of MuniMobile and a pilot program for pre-paying fares at Cable Car turnarounds," said Paul Rose, a spokesman for Muni.

The Examiner reports, however, that according to the SF controller's office, "It is unlikely, however, given the ridership demographics, including tourists, that a full cashless system will be possible."

The report recommended exploring other option for collecting fares as opposed to trusting humans. Ideas on the table include fare boxes on board cable cars, a prospect Muni isn't wild about.

The report only covered 30 rides over 17 days, a data collection that the controller's office concedes is not really enough to make a full assessment of the whole cable car cash situation. "We want to do more cash audits and see what our data tells us from that point. We want to be careful, and we want to be fair," said Tonia Lediju, the chief audit executive at the controller's office.

Seattle-based software company PayScale.com used its tons of data to look at wage growth in the 31 fastest growing cities in these United States of America.

Bearing in mind that the average wage growth among cities was 2.4%, Forbes reports, "Among the cities with the fastest growing wages, San Francisco tops them all. The City by the Bay saw its average salary grow by 3.8% between Q2 2016 and 2017. Right behind San Francisco are three cities tied for second place: Austin, Denver and San Diego, all of which saw their average salaries grow by about 3.5%."

You can use the (sexy title alert) PayScale Index Trends In Compensation to search wage growth by city, by industry, by company size, and by job category. For example, wage grown in media and publishing is up 0.5% since last quarter. (OKAY SURE.)

Don't get too excited. Economics is boring complicated. PayScale's Real Wage Index shows that when accounting for inflation, Americans make 7.5% LESS than we did in 2006. As PayScale bluntly states, "...the income for a typical worker today buys them less than it did in 2006."

"Wages continue to experience modest growth with variability across industries, job families and metro areas. While the positive wage growth appears to be sustaining, real wages are again 7.5 percent lower than they were in 2006, so the price of goods is growing faster than most employees' wages," explained Katie Bardaro, PayScale's vice president of data analytics and lead economist.

Detroit saw a dip of -0.7%, which could be why Kid Rock is considering a run for United States Senate there. Those thinking about a career change might want to look into real estate. That industry saw the highest jump in wages last quarter with an increase in 1.4%.

Attention gold diggers.

In an auction to raise money for the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Organization, bidders have until May 16 to log onto Charitybuzz and try and score lunch with Apple CEO Tim Cook. The lunch is valued $100,000 and as of my typing this, the bidding has reached $125,000.

The lunch, which presumably includes dessert and the beverage of your choice (plus free refills) will take place at the brand spanking new Apple Park in glamorous Cupertino, California. This seems like a cheap place for Tim Cook to take someone to lunch but who knows? Maybe they have tablecloths. Lunch can only last an hour and the winning bidder gets to bring a guest, provided they both pass a security check.

Here are some sample questions prospective auction winners may want to ask Cook:

• Can you fix my iPhone4? The wait list at the Genius Bar was unbearable.
• Are you going to eat that pickle?
• Real quick, can I see your current bank balance?
• How come my phone goes from 30% battery to 2% battery in like, a minute?
• How miserable were you at that Donald Trump tech meeting? Because you looked pretty miserable.

Other RFK auction items include a lunch with brilliant historical genius and frequent Ken Burns documentary star Doris Kearns Goodwin (grossly undervalued at $3,500) and tickets to Saturday Night Live including the after party, which sounds WAY better than lunch with a nerd and is currently going for $7,501.

When you think about the richest residents of the Bay Area, obviously Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Travis Kalanick probably come to mind, but you may wonder just who else is sitting on so much money that creating a free-wheeling, libertarian offshore-nation actually sounds like an appealing proposition. Thankfully, Forbes stepped up and released a list of the top 20 wealthiest people in America — 14 of which, the Business Times helpfully highlights, live right here by the Bay.

The list, which covers the tech, real estate, and financial sectors, is not altogether that surprising other than as a reminder of just how much money those on it actually have. Like, we're talking GDP of Costa Rica rich.

Here, for your listicle pleasure, are the top 14 in descending order:

• 14) Brian Acton of WhatsApp. Worth $5.4 billion.
  
• 13) John A. Sobrato of Sobrato Organization Real Estate. Worth $5.9 billion.
  
• 12) Travis Kalanick of Uber. Worth $6.3 billion.
  
• 11) Charles Schwab of Charles Schwab. Worth $6.6 billion.
  
• 10) Gordon Moore of Intel Corp. Worth $7.6 billion.
  
• 9) Jan Koum of WhatsApp. Worth $8.8 billion.
  
• 8) Dustin Moskovitz of Facebook. Worth $10.4 billion.
  
• 7) Eric Schmidt of Google. Worth $11.3 billion.
  
• 6) Elon Musk of Tesla, SpaceX. Worth $11.6 billion.
  
• 5) Laurene Powell Jobs of Apple. Worth $17.7 billion.
  
• 4) Sergey Brin of Google. Worth $37.5 billion.
  
• 3) Larry Page of Google. Worth $38.5 billion.
  
• 2) Larry Ellison of Oracle. Worth $49.3 billion.
  
• 1) Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. Worth $55.5 billion.
  

Meanwhile, the richest person in the country is still grandpa nerd-king Bill Gates. He's reportedly worth $81 billion.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go stare at my bank account balance and cry.

We've been talking about Muni's glorious new light rail fleet for a while — in fact, it was over two years ago that we ran the numbers on the (at the time) $1.2 billion proposal to order (again, at the time) 260 new cars to replace those on the J, K, L, M, N and T lines. But now, as officials look at the first of the new cars from the 60-acre Sacramento factory at which they will be constructed, we learn that San Francisco still isn't sure how we're going to pay for the full order of the new vehicles.

Since we looked at the costs for the new rail cars in July, 2014, the project was downsized to 151, then back up to 215 following a $45 million boon of cap-and-trade funds from the California State Transportation Agency. But even with that reduced order and financial infusion, Muni still appears to be scrambling in the couch cushions for the money to pay for the cars.

According to the SF Examiner, which (unlike SFist!) was invited to join Mayor Ed Lee, Supervisor London Breed, Assemblymember David Chiu, and assorted San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency officials on a tour of the Siemens Industry Inc. facility at which the new trains will be built, "The City is still trying to expand its funding sources so it can afford 22 of its new trains."

Muni is banking on voter approval of Propositions J ("Funding for Homelessness and Transportation") and K ("General Sales Tax"), items on November's insanely overstuffed ballot that would "create a Transportation Improvement Fund and a 0.75 percent sales tax to partially fund transportation." (You can see all the details on both measures here.) But even those won't be enough, SFMTA Director of Transportation Ed Reiskin said in the presence of the Ex, as "some trains in SFMTA’s order to expand its replacement fleet are not yet funded."

"Reiskin said other options are available to fund future train procurements," reports the Ex. Those include "future bridge toll increases, state cap and trade funds, and a local vehicle license fee."

Lee, whose been involved in discussions to propose an increase in SF vehicle license costs since 2014, echoed Reiskin's interest in the latter fee, saying “We’re definitely open to it."

It's unclear how short the SFMTA is on the bill for the new trains, the first of which is now expected to appear on SF streets in late 2017. Yes, that's far later than the December 2016 debut the SFMTA initially promised, but on the bright side that's one more year to get that Kickstarter or whatever going to fund the hundreds of trains we've already agreed to buy.

You already know that San Francisco has a $9.6 billion budget — "more than the budgets of 13 states and scores of countries around the world," the Chron notes. As reported earlier this year, the current budget sees increases for things like homeless services, transportation, increased library hours and more street cleaning. But underlying all that are the salaries of the people ostensibly performing those tasks — the street cleaners, the librarians, and everyone else. There are a lot of them! Let's take a look at the numbers.

• $4.7 billion: The portion of SF's $9.6 billion budget devoted to city worker salaries and benefits
• 30,626: The number of San Francisco city workers
• 28: The number of SF residents there are to every one city worker
• $108,774: The average annual SF city worker salary
• $49,864: The average annual amount paid out per city worker in benefits, including "medical, dental and vision care and pension contributions"
• $49,270: The salary of a "starting custodian" in SF
• $44,798: The salary of a "starting junior typist" in SF (messages to City Hall officials to figure out exactly what that job would entail in 2016 were not returned at publication time)
• $302,400: The salary of San Francisco's mayor
• $311,194: The salary of San Francisco's fire chief
• $316,732: The salary of San Francisco's chief of police
• 4,500: The number of city worker job positions added during Mayor Ed Lee's tenure in office: "More than 300 people to the Police Department, 1,000 people to Muni and 1,100 people to the Department of Public Health. He’s added a few dozen apiece to the libraries and parks, and 13 to his own staff," the Chron reports
• $1.2 billion: SF's budget in 1989, which according to usinflationcalculator.com equals $2,328,841,935.48 today

Update: SFMTA Transportation Planner Jerad Weiner writes in to offer this link for San Francisco's "Junior Clerk Typist" position, saying "We still type in 2016, I hope, or I'm way behind the times." I love that the job description includes "operating personal computer"!

All facts and figures: Billions of dollars flow to SF’s army of city workers, SF Chronicle, August 27, 2016.

Even if BART can manage to get voters to agree to that $3.5 billion infrastructure bond they want to put on the November ballot, it's not like all their money worries will come to an end. Yes, they say, they will finally be able to afford to fix their admittedly-decrepit infrastructure. But in a move that seems all too common for the priority-impaired agency, BART has entered into a new labor agreement with workers' unions without any idea how to pay for the $77 million in increased wages included in the contract.

The news that BART settled a contract with its workers ahead of the 2017 deadline was a bright spot in what's been a bleak year for the transit agency, which has been beset with criticism for a mysterious voltage spike that snarled transit for weeks — criticism strong enough that one staffer took to Twitter to (indirectly) convince followers that that 3.5 billion in bond bucks is just what they needed to get things (ahem) back on track.

But that bond measure money wouldn't cover the dough agreed to in the labor deal, the Chron reports, which includes 10.8 percent in raises for staff and an agreement not to strike for the next five years.

As noted in a February report from the Chron, BART also has a "'me too' policy that gives managers raises that match what the unions negotiate," which is why all staff — not just union members — received $3.3 million in annual bonuses last and, presumably, this year.

All in all, reports the Chron, the new increases agreed to in the contract will cost BART an extra $77 million over the next five years. Since "ridership has maxed out and sales tax revenues that help fund day-to-day operations are slowing," how will BART make the money? Fare hike? Bake sale?

Well, it won't be a fare increase, BART General Manager Grace Crunican says, asserting that other than those scheduled hikes determined by inflation the prices you pay to ride BART will not be going up.

OK, so, how then? Who knows! It's a mystery even to BART board members like eastern Contra Costa director Joel Keller, who tells the Chron that “That’s what we are waiting to find out."

Waiting for what, Joel, to see how much money your seat hog law rakes in? Maybe you guys need to get cracking on that bake sale, after all.

A study conducted by wealth management company Charles Schwab has us sighing deeply as we stare into our empty coffee cups this morning. According to 1,001 Bay Area residents aged 21 to 75 interviewed about their financial circumstances and retirement plans, you need at least $6,386,000 to be considered wealthy around these gilded parts. And to be merely comfortable? Why, that requires $1,446,000 in net worth.

The study, picked up by the Chronicle, adds a frustrating level of specificity to the general feeling pervading these parts — even the rich don't feel rich around here, and the rest of us just feel poor.

"Local residents think it takes more than double the net worth to be considered wealthy in the Bay Area than it does in the rest of the country," reads the study. "Nearly all Bay Area residents believe the local cost of living is unreasonable."

Interestingly, the study finds that only "a quarter of Bay Area residents are natives, and 14% have lived in the area for less than 5 years." When coupled with that fact that 66 percent of respondents said the main impediment to living in their city of choice is that it's too expensive, it is not unreasonable to infer a pattern of natives being priced out.

While upsetting, this news is hardly shocking. After all, this is the city that considers "homes from the low $1,000,000s" a good deal.

Oh, the good old days, when we thought that San Francisco would only be spending about 4 million in taxpayer bucks for the Super Bowl. It appears that at least one department seriously underestimated their costs, as the San Francisco Police Department now says they spent $3 million on overtime specifically on duties related to the event.

It was back in January that Mayor Ed Lee’s budget director Kate Howard sent a memo projecting city spending for the shindig. You can read the whole memo here, but the significant part for our purposes today is the estimate for additional SFPD services: $1.0-1.5 million, she wrote, presumably based on information she received from the department. All in all, she wrote, SF would spend about $4 million, with the expectation that tax revenues from the festivities "are expected to more than offset any local expenditures on events."

Following Howard's memo, the SFMTA realized that they'd underestimated their bill, which took us up to $4.6 million, and the tab kept on rising after that. And this is where I remind you that, as Jane Kim put it, Santa Clara "inked an agreement with the Host Committee that obligates the Host Committee to reimburse ALL Santa Clara City expenses associated with hosting Super Bowl 50." San Francisco had no such deal...in fact, we didn't even get a written contract at all.

And now SFPD's overtime bill for February has come in, and it's $7.6 million, CBS 5 reports. Compare that to February 2015, when it was $2.1 million, and February 2014, when SFPD OT was $1.7 million, and you'll start to see the issue.

SFPD Chief Greg Suhr tells the Chron that there were a number of factors leading to the Super Bowl OT bill. First, there were the terror attacks in San Bernardino and Paris, which Suhr says “came in after we made the bid, and kind of changed plans.”

Then, there were people. “Attendance was larger we had expected,” Suhr says. “We had to close the Super Bowl village twice for overcrowding."

And finally, there were the protests, as Suhr says "we did have more demonstrations than we anticipated.”

All those elements conspired to take SFPD's overtime costs to $2.9 million, Suhr estimates, “$700,000 of which we requested the federal government reimburse because they added extra security.”

All is not doom and gloom, perhaps, as we do know that hotels pulled in around $5.3 million more in taxes than in previous years, suggesting that we're not necessarily looking at an an America's Cup-level boondoggle. But even pro-SB 50 forces like SF's Chamber of Commerce sound a little worries, with VP James Lazarus telling the Chron that "the city’s costs are obviously significant...We need to see how much of those costs were general fund costs and how much will be paid by the airport or other revenues.”

“We’re still assessing the revenue we hope to generate, and what the real costs are, but news like this does certainly concern me about what other cost overruns there might have been,” Kim told CBS 5. We'll all know more in April, when the city controller’s office expects to release a full accounting of SF's Super Bowl 50 profits and losses.

If you're anything like deceased Apple founder Steve Jobs (and you just might be), then the City and County of San Francisco owes you some money.

The SFMTA posted a list of 200,000 names of folks who have overpaid or double-paid on their San Francisco parking tickets between 1995 and 2012. Steve Jobs' name appears on the list, and he's owed $174.

Anyone who's ever paid for a parking ticket should check this list ASAP because there's $6.1 million up for grabs and anyone on the list only has until March 3, 2016 to call dibs. So you need to get on this by Thursday, parking criminals.

The SFMTA website is unclear on how the estate of a dead person can get monies owed, but the State of California makes it easy! State Controller Betty Yee has way more than 6 million measly dollars up for claiming. You can search for yourself or your relative on the other side right here.

2121 Webster Street was once, as Curbed observes, a dentist’s school. We all have humble beginnings, but you won't hear much about those on the website of developers Trumark Urban, who converted the building to 76 "jewel box residences" they've dubbed "The Pacific."

No, there wasn't room on the sleek website for The Pacific amidst the photos and unapologetic purple prose. But, best of all, check out the video. Sorry, sorry, "film."

We've transcribed it in full, and darling, I do say it's a tour de force. My goodness. It's as if the words were diamonds carefully inlaid into sentences.

Dylan Thomas wrote, "You wouldn't think such a place as San Francisco could exist. The wonderful sunlight here, the great bridges, the Pacific at your shoes." Nowhere is this more true than Pacific Heights.

It is the kind of inimitable place that invites you to stay for generations because it would be impossible to do better. In the years after 1906 many of San Francisco's wealthiest residents ascended the pinnacles of Pacific Heights, transforming it into one of the finest geographic pedigrees imaginable.

Today, the median price for a single family home exceeds 10.25 million dollars, which would make Pacific Heights the most expensive place to live in the U.S., if it had its own zip code. And 2121 Webster, The Pacific will sit at the center of this coveted enclave.

As the city expands, awash in a tech fueled, gold rush gigantic residential towers packed with platinum level comforts are popping up like wildflowers, compressing as much luxury as possible into the smallest living spaces imaginable

The Pacific, however offers a dramatic departure. There is nothing else like it in San Francisco. In London, or Paris, perhaps — there you may find buildings of this level of quality and grandeur on the most desirable blocks polished like architectural gems.

Here it is a rare exception, bucking the trend to tear down the old structure and maximize the number of units. Instead, the Pacific is designed with a single constraint: To create 76 impeccable jewel box residences, each beginning with unobstructed floor plates, generous square footage, soaring ceiling heights, and oversized windows. Or, as they say in the design world, good bones.

Throughout, the interiors are appointed with the world's finest finishes, selected to rival the quality of those found in neighboring Gold Coast mansions. Although each residence creates an eloquent statement on its own, it is the array of luxurious private services and amenities that makes The Pacific extraordinary. A private valeted garage. A grand lobby with concierge services. A fully appointed guest suite. A yoga garden and fitness studio. And a penthouse level observatory lounge with unparalleled views; views so spectacular it feels as if San Francisco is unfolding in front of your eyes; views of clouds, dancing like a private ballet in the sky.

It may not make sense to focus on quality rather than quantity, or to forego efficiencies of scale to incorporate every high rise luxury into a boutique collection of 76 jewelbox residences. But we've done just that. why? Because real beauty, the lasting kind, defies expectations, setting The Pacific in a class of its own.

I want to luxuriate in this copy. I want to bathe in it. I would be honored to drown in it.

Remember how we told you that San Francisco was expected to spend about $4 million of taxpayer money on the Super Bowl? Well, scratch that figure! As it turns out, the good old San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency had forgotten that they'd need parking and traffic control officers to work the event, so it's actually going to cost significantly more.

I'm going to assume that you remember last week's report from Kate Howard, San Francisco's budget director that estimated that the city would spend about $4 million to keep things going during next month's football frenzy. According to Howard, the San Francisco Police Department would spend about $1.5 extra on Super Bowl related expenses, the San Francisco Fire Department would need about $600K extra, and the SFMTA would need $1.7 million more that usual.

Except they won't, as according to a report from Matier and Ross, the transit agency "forgot to include the 90 parking and traffic control officers who will be needed to keep the cars and buses moving before and after events — and also staff the street closures that will come with the weeklong celebration." (Guess this guy wasn't available.)

The cost of those 90 staffers for a week of San Francisco Super Bowl traffic madness? An additional $638,000, bringing SF's Super Bill up to $4.6 (or so) million.

But then again, even Howard says we can't really know for sure how much any of this stuff will cost, saying in her memo (all of which you can read here) that “actual departmental expenditures will not be known until after the event has concluded." That's comforting!

In a move you might recall from the heady days of the America's Cup (SF's unpaid tab for that one: $11.5 million), the mayor's office continues to assert that we'll come out on top, never fear. As Lee spokesperson Christine Falvey again told the Chron, “We are confident that the city will experience a significant economic bounce, especially in the typically slow month of February.”

Presumably she means a good kind of bounce, not the kind that precedes the word "check."

My favorite story: guy orders #Dominos wings and gets a box full of cash. What would you do? Watch at 11pm #abc7now pic.twitter.com/uzHYLDZTQ6

— Natasha Zouves ABC7 (@NatashaABC7) September 20, 2015

It's true: Domino's pizza was not listed on our definitive list of the best pizza in San Francisco. But maybe that was a mistake! It looks like a Berkeley Domino's is passing out mounds of cash to customers, and if there's anything that makes up for crappy mass-produced dough, it's the kind of dough you can spend.

OK, so here's what happened: a Berkeley man with the improbably yet glorious name of "Mike Vegas" ordered a pizza and chicken wings from Domino's, and just one slice before putting the rest in the fridge for later.

Vegas told ABC7 that "My phone started blowing up and I wasn't looking at the random messages. I was at work so I wasn't answering." Sure, Mike, I'm the same way.

It wasn't until the next day that he put two and two together. Says Vegas:

"About 5 a.m., I got home from work" (he's a bartender at AT&T Park, SF Gate reports) "and went to my refrigerator and pulled out what I thought was wings. It turned out to be 1,300 bucks."

It turns out that Vegas' delivery driver had been on his way to the bank when he dropped off Mike's order. But instead of the box of wings, he dropped off the box of money: Around $1300 in cash. Hence the random messages — those calls were the frantic driver trying to undo a costly mistake.

"I wrote a Facebook post and of course there's a long list of people arguing you should keep it, you shouldn't keep it,you should keep it, you shouldn't keep it" Vegas told ABC7.

"I wanted to keep it, believe me. But I can't, I can't do that." So he returned the money, and in thanks, the local Domino's manager rewarded him with an open offer for free pizza for the next year.

Vegas is up for the task, though he says "I'm going to have to start working out more, obviously." Whatever it takes to make that $1300 back in melted cheese on bread!
