If you received a civil demand notice, it no doubt instructed you that if you fail to pay you can be sued.

And let's put it this way...if you get sued, it affects your credit rating. Meaning good luck getting that first apartment, credit card, etc. And the store still has the option of pressing criminal charges, which will make it harder to get a job.
