Many folks consider putting new pads with old rotors a Mickey Mouse way of doing a brake job. Paricularly professional shops, old pads and new rotors can cause quite a few issues and the price of the brake rotors becomes a minor part of a major brake overhaul so why risk it, is the theme.
But naaahhhh.....The pads are going to wear to the rotors even if they're not smooth and flat, it might take awhile and some concentrated stopping to seat the new pads to the rotors, time that pro shops don't have. So under careful supervision, new pads and old rotors works out fine.
