I would think the business would have a hard time recovering that from her. She didn’t steal that money. They gave it to her for work performed, and then tried to come back on her for it at a later date. There’s a big difference. I think with the right lawyer, she’s home free.

I got a really expensive mower from Lowes one time for 1/3 the price. The correct price was clearly marked, they loaded it on my trailer, and I headed down the road. But, they only charged my credit card less than half price. When we got home, we got a call from Lowe’s telling us we owed them money or the mower, and told me that if I didn’t get right with them, I committed theft. I told them good luck proving it, because they gave me that mower for what I paid them. I didn’t steal it. I never heard from them again.

Maybe you are “practically” right. But you bought it at an agreed price on both parties agreement. If they had mistakenly overcharged you would you have thought the same?

Morally, you failed the test.
