Accused of stealing from the tills at the supermarket I work at.. help? (uk)

[QUOTE="Brazil_Surfer"]

ok some of you guys are taking this too far... as I expected with some of the members here quick to point any problem to death or end of your life as you know it... It is a part-time job, I am 17 and I only work on thursday and saturday. If I do get fired other employers never have to know that I once had a job at somerfield...

And to those curious about the outcome I need to call them tommorow to see what is going on.. I dont even know if it is about the money... as I said I was assuming the worse. And I needed the tenner for going out on saturday.. of course that was an idiotic decision but past is the past.. its allready happened.

ill keep you posted

By British law, if you're convicted of an offense you must declare it whenever you apply for another job as well as some other things (mostly travelling abroad).

but that is only the case if you are actually charged and I really doubt that they will press charges for a tenner. If they just make me pay it back and fire me then employers wont wonder what I was doing in this period because they will assume I didn't have a job when I was 17. If they press charges then thats aother story.. ok so Im looking at it like this.. I took it on saturday, the store is open every day of the week. Dont you think they wouldve called me before tuesday if it was about the cashier.. since they count it at the end of every day.

It varies from company to company on whether or not you have to say why you left your previous job, but I know a lot of (big) companies have a zero tolerance policy on thefts. I suppose it depends on how nice your boss is and/or how well you get on with them.

Well now there's a life lesson for you. If you do get fired, you will then have to tell your other interviewers (when applying for a new job) that you stole from your previous job. That sucks big time.Ghost_702

If you get this worked up over £10, maybe a life of crime isn't for you. :P

Your conscience will get the best of you.

It will eat away at you to your very core.

You will be dreaming about your heinous crime, and constantly looking over your shoulder at work until the moment when you are finally brought to justice and you receive your punishment.  10 lashings ought to be sufficient; one for each pound you stole.

Have a nice day, friend. :)
