Archived Stealing

[Qkahad]

I recently got caught stealing things and gift cards that I was supposed to give customers. The AP said they are not gonna call the police or anything, but I did sign a paper saying what I did. It was 450 dollars in total and I was fired . I am a seasonal worker and have only been here for 1 1/2. He said I might or might not get a letter from corporate target. I’m a minor btw. Should I be worried at all.

You should definitely be worried. Target does not play about theft. They will most likely subpoena you so you should talk to your parents about your options. You’re also gonna have to pay back the money. You shouldn’t have stole bro 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sorry but what kind of idiot would steal from the place they work

 

[Jimmy Neutron]

LMAO ever heard the phrase “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”? Of course not you’re 17, mommy and daddy pay for everything. Well they won’t get the cops involved but it will definitely go on your record so in the future when you actually have to pay bills and look for a real job you bet your bottom dollar this incident will come up. Have fun in court!!!

 

[Sweet Pea]

Yes you should be worried! Quit stealing! Grow up! Work hard for the things you have and quit being an idiot. You’re young now but believe me if you continue down this road it’s not going to be a pretty life. Stop this behavior now and you will be fine.

 

[Ringwraith917]

Expensive lesson learned I hope. You will have to pay that back, and if you dont, they will press charges

 

[can't touch this]

Did you win the $500 gift card contest too?

 

[Planosss]

Just pay the money back, you’ll be fine.

 

[qmosqueen]

wait for the knock on the door !!!

Jane's Addiction ... where are they now ?

love that dog barking !!

 

[NKG]

Why not steal so you don't have to worry? 💁‍♀️

Hello, there are cameras EVERYWHERE... did you really think you would get away with it?! Always remember, big brother is watching.

1. WHY?
2. I am surprised by your honesty.
3. Stores usually have a set amount about on what they will press charges.
4. Target may put a collection against you and your parents to repay loss.
5. No chances of re-hire with Target

Should you be worried? What kinda question is that? You stole from your job. You know right from wrong at your age, and you chose to do wrong. You should be worried about what happens if you don’t pay them back.

 

[Qkahad]

How do I pay them back? Do I mail it to them or what? That’s what I’m trying to do is pay them back.

 

[buliSBI]

If Target takes any action against you, either legal or collection, you and your parents/guardians will be notified.

 

[seasonaldude]

TBH, you shouldn't be too worried. You are a minor so this won't affect you too much going forward. Even if you are criminally prosecuted, you'll get a slap on the wrist and your records will be sealed so they won't show up on background checks. You won't be able to ever work at Target again, but it's not going to stop you from working somewhere else. If/when Target asks you to pay the money dback, they'll let you know how to pay it.

Let this be a lesson to you though. Once you turn 18 the consequences for this stuff will be much more severe.

 

[redcardroy]

$400 is no joke. Your store needs to do about $10,000 in sales to make up for that loss. Not to mention the guests who've formed a permanent assumption that Target tm's steal from guests and who'll likely never shop there again and share their experience with others.

 

[HardlinesGuy]

1- Sorry, but you’re an idiot.
2- Nothing’s gonna happen other than possibly repaying. But take this as a first and final warning. Make smart choices. Life will not forgive you in the future and you will be held accountable.

 

[Qkahad]

I for sure have learned and will never do it again. Even thinking about it makes me disgusted. I’m so dumb for this.....

 

[BobBelcher]

Ah, you internals are something else. Keep in mind all it takes is for them to take the evidence to the municipal police department and file on you and you could be seeing a court date. Most likely a fine though, glad you learned your lesson.

 

[Qkahad]

But the AP leader told me they are not gonna notify the cops. I’m willing to pay do anything.

I mean they can tell you anything... when you were hired you told them (albeit in writing) that you weren't gonna steal

 

[Yetive]

Tell your folks. Pay Target back. Learn your lesson. Don't let this define you.
If you pay them back, they will not go to the police.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

You need to write a letter to spot apologizing for stealing & pay the money back.

 

[Dog]

That’s a lot of money, I’m not going to rag on you cause it’s not really my place to do so but what goes through your head when you do that kinda thing? Did you just think you weren’t gonna get caught? What did you need the money for?
