Yup, you did the right thing. Shoe on the other foot how would you feel if you were the merchant; H.D. or not? BIG diff between .66 and $66 btw.

I'd keep a close eye on "GF".

FWIW, I waited tables a lot when I was younger, and mistakes like that happen all the time. I never, ever had to pay for any of it. But oh well, for all I know that's how they run their business, I'll never find out for sure, and it makes no difference to me anyhow.

It was the right thing to do. You shouldn't even be second guessing yourself. Like 71FLH said, it's called integrity. It is refreshing to know that a few people still have some.

You've clearly demonstrated your own integrity.

Ask yourself this:

Is the GF someone you want raising your children and instilling in them HER sense of integrity?

If she's that buggy about you not ripping someone off for $66.00, I'd bail if I were you....the writing's on the wall.

It's pretty common, actually.
