Can You Get in Trouble if a Store Recognizes You as a Shoplifter

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

I've shoplifted a few times at some stores such as vons and Ralph's. I don't plan on doing it anymore but I've been giving it a lot of thinking and I'm wondering if I can still get in trouble for it if I ever return to those stores again if they recognize me.

The last time I went I could tell they knew who I was because I heard an employee whisper to another, "that's him" and when I walked past the entrance (wasn't even trying to leave yet) I heard over the intercom they called for loss prevention and security. I also walked outside to grab the wood they keep by the outside entrance and overheard an employee calling the police (he might've been faking it) I ended up paying for everything after all because I was paranoid and when I got up to the register the employee switched with a manager and she rang me up instead. Someone called the phone at the register she was at and she gave very short answers as if she didn't want me to know they were talking about me. After I paid I was scared the police would be waiting for me outside but they weren't. I got in my car and left.

If they did in fact recognize me from a time before, is it possible for them to somehow track me down even if I never go there again? If so, what can happen to me?

If you're not comfortable with the fact that some stores regard you as a known shoplifter, shop somewhere else.

Can we promise that no store where you stole has video that could be used to successfully prosecute you for prior acts of stealing, if they figure out who you are? No, we cannot do that.
