Re: Stole from Walmart What Will Happen to Me
Actually my advise was based on "I committed several crimes and they might charge me with them. If I quit and slink out of the state, they may decide it is not worth the time to chase it".

I do not agree with the above, unless the employee really doesn't care about unemployment. If he quits now, there is no possiblity that he will be approved. "I quit before they could fire me" is not a valid reason to collect UI in any state. However, at this point he does not even know if they've noticed what he did, let alone whether or not they consider it a firing offense. If they do, there's no guarantee he'll get unemployment but he might. If he quits, he will not. And if he has to worry about it for a little while - well, maybe that will remind him not to steal again.

When did un employment come into the question? I was talking about the shoplifting issue which is a completely different matter. Are you suggesting that the shoplifter should be entitled to un employment because he or she lost employment due to stealing?
