Busser returns $500 in cash dropped at west El Paso Village Inn restaurant

EL PASO, Texas -- When Steven Donnelly dropped $500 in cash at a west El Paso Village Inn, he didn't expect to get it back.

"As soon as they brought the pie out, I got up and and went to pay and realized 'Holy cow!' I dropped my money!" recalled Donnelly. "I lost my money!"

However, a kind-hearted busser named Salvador Ruiz-Esparza found the money at the restaurant on Mesa Street and Balboa Road and returned it to his boss.

"I've lost money before and I know what it feels like," said Ruiz-Esparza.

Donnelly was so impressed, he gave the busser $100.
