You did the right thing. Honesty has become a rare commodity these days.


Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

I would expect nothing less from a man sporting a fine pair of Luccheses.

If one always does the right thing, there is no need to fear karma. Someone with enough juice at the store might choose to honor the lower price as in the place where MagicHorse works. If so, hurray for them! If not, it is worth every penny of the price difference for one’s integrity.

That is a good looking pair of boots.

You did right.

Integrity is doing the right thing, when no one if watching. You did good. Nice looking boots too, though they're a bit to 'snazzy' for me. Smile My purchases are always work or knock around boots though.

As for the boot selection....
Nice choice, I have a pair of ostrich leg Lucchese boots that I love.
Perfect fit.

Congrats on your purchase.

I think you did exactly the right thing. I always feel bad when someone brags about doing just the opposite.

And, you're way up there in your wife's eyes, too.

Good job.

Love the boots...I like the squared toe.
I would've pointed out the mistake as well...I would've been guilt-ridden otherwise.

I have those in a slightly more orange-dish shade. They are incredibly comfortable, my favorites! And they are 12 years old and going strong.

Very nice boots!

I've brought it to the attention of cashiers from time to time, when I've been under-charged, or given me too much in change, and they've always been amazed someone would do that. Doesn't speak well for most customers, as you know it must happen on a regular basis and most say nothing.

Nice boots. Like the toe and the color. I would have gone back inside and pointed out their mistake, you did the right thing.
