Choosing the right

What I saw in the video was that those three guys were being honest and choosing the right because if they had chosen the wrong they would have robbed the stuff that they wanted or even more stuff. I was actually surprised because I thought they would have ribbed the stuff but they actually paid for it plus the tax. And after all of that they tracked the three guys down and  they gave them a $50 gift card and the guys fekt good about what they did because if they robbed the stuff they would have felt bad n not have gotten a reward for being honest. So when you choose the right good thing come out of it.
