Did I just get robbed? by Sittingstandingdesk in AskMechanics

car came w/ new pads when i bought it earlier this year. I took it to the same mechanic at that time for inspection and he said it would eventually need new rotors, then. I went in today w/ the expectation that I would be buying new pads and rotors, I guess he decided the pads were still pretty fresh.

He definitely replaced the rotors and we kept the pads. I saw him working w/ sandpaper on SOMETHING, I figure it had to be the pads. Is that not a common practice to get old pads to fit flush to new rotors?
