Money Moral Dilemma: I got paid to eat lunch, but should I own up?

I had something similar happen to me. Busy shop, bought an item for £125 but my credit card was only charged £12.50. Fortunately for them I always ask for the credit card receipt (so I can check my purchases off my statement) as the actual receipt had the correct price. Anyway, went back the next day and spoke to the manager who was so grateful I had come back. The young assistant had been beside herself when the error was spotted during cashing up and had offered to pay the difference by working for free. As others have said, the error may already have been spotted so do the right thing - mistakes happen and Most of us would go back if the error was not in our favour.
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!
