Character Counts-Trustworthiness Integrity Character Dilemma: What do you do? You’re paying for school supplies at your local discount store. The store is part of a huge chain with hundreds of stores across the country. When the cashier rings up your purchases, you immediately notice that she undercharges you $10 by mistake. Do you call it to her attention? Would you feel differently if this was a small store owned by the family of one of your friends? How does Integrity play into this scenario? Wilson, 2015
