I had the fortune on 12/7/16 of being reminded why I decided to build a house in Zihua. While at Commercial, I used an old HSBC ATM that does not have a buzzer that reminds one to remove their card at the conclusion of the transaction. I tucked my pesos in a clip and walked to the turnstile to go in when a young man probably mid 20's chased after me to give me my debit card back. He was dressed in clothing that the commercial employees wear behind the scene such as a meat cutter. After a moment of thought I followed him and tried to thank him with a small gift a 20 peso note and he refused saying no payment was desired.
In prior years I have dropped peso notes in the centro Mercado or once on the mulle and had someone follow me, tap me on the shoulder and return the dropped peso note. Not sure that this would happen much in US .

Hello Casa Juan:
Yes, there most certainly are honest people here.
Lucky 4 U, that person was where U were at the time.
Could of been that a local delinquent was there, and would of stolen your card.
Those incidents with the delinquents are the ones that draw most of the attention, and NOT the good experiences such as you had, with an honest Mexican local.

Last year I unknowingly dropped my change purse in our favorite Fruitaria by the Merza.
It was handed back to me at the checkout by a smiling local customer.
Made my day and I hope I made hers with my Spanglish words of gratitude and smile.
Returning Jan 4!!!!
Vive Zihua!
Not only did I leave my card behind just like Casa Juan did only to have it returned by a smiling person hollering for my attention, I also greatly overpaid my server at the Rossy, Gustavo, with wet money that was stuck together. I even said keep the change which some days works out much larger than other days through luck and available bills. Gustavo knew that the tip was way over any norm and treated me as a friend which he remains along with all the Rossy guys. Needshendy stop by the Rossy in January or look for a guy with snorkel stuff walking La Ropa.
Please be happy always.
