Got my receipt and left...driving back to the shop I decided to look at the total...thats when I realized that I was only charged for one sheet....a mistake of over $500
Turned around right away and headed back to the store.
Cashier sees me in line with the slip and asked if something was wrong. I explain the situation...shes shocked but very grateful.
Says she would have been fired. Doing the right thing always feels better than getting away with something.

you are a vanishing breed... a lot of people would have kept going and then bragged about their "score" on social media...kudos to you for doing the right thing... I wonder how it would have turned out if the mistake had been the other way around...how much of aggravation would it have been to get your other 16 sheets..
