Shoplifted, Now Going Through a Background Check
Hello,
I recently was involved in a shoplifting incident about 5 months ago (it happened in January). The police wasn't called or anything. I received my civil demand and paid for it right away. Also, there wasn't a court case involved either (or not yet, haven't received a notice for a court date yet). I applied for a job (fast food restaurant), and will be attending the background check orientation tomorrow. What does that entails?
Will they ask my questions regarding that?
Should I talk to them about this? Even though they didn't ask?
Will this shoplifting incident show up?
When asked have you be convicted of a crime? What should be my answer?
I'm a bit nervous with this background check orientation. Thank you for your help.

It may show up because of National Retail Theft Database. If they ask questions (even if they don't seem to know) be HONEST.
