It's true in most places. Waitresses almost always, most stores. I worked at the gas station at Co-op back in high school ans when working the till, if you were short you didn't have to pay, but you sure looked either stupid or guilty if your till was short at the end of the shift.
At least twice that I remember a customer corrected me. Both times I was just distracted with heavy thoughts (probably about something like a fight with the woman or whatever). Having my ass saved like that sure got me honest in a hurry. I really don't care whether anyone believes me but I would never keep extra money that a cashier or waitress gives me. It's happened a few times and the thanks and relief on the face of the person that made the mistake makes giving the cash back worthwhile.
Sometimes it makes my day to make someone else's. That way I can justify being a total road rager.
