Answers
If I buy a pile of clothing items on sale at my favorite Departmental Store and after reaching home, I realize that one of the items is not on the receipt, I would go back to the store, show the receipt to the shopkeeper, and pay for the item.
Let us consider both scenarios of paying and not paying for the item.
In case I don't pay for the item and ignore it, I would carry regret feeling every time I visit that Departmental Store. I will have a feeling that I have cheated by not paying for the item. I would also have the same feeling while using the dress, which makes me so uncomfortable.
In case I revisit the store and pay for the item, I would feel proud of my ethical values, honesty, and integrity. It gives me a positive feeling that I have done the right thing. Also, this is my favorite departmental store, I can't imagine causing any loss to them.
