Civil Suit with Duane Reade

You have no idea how lucky you are that the store did not call the police and have you arrested. You'd be paying a hell of a lot more in the end. And would have a criminal record that would make finding a new job extremely difficult.

Since you are on the database - do not waste your time trying to find a retail job.

You have paid restitution - my guess is because the store did not get their items back.
The Civil Demand is a perfectly legal punishment for the stores time, efforts, costs of the security cameras and LP.

You got off really lucky......

I know smh

Thanks. Thats all i needed to know
