    Default Applying for Retail Jobs After Getting Caught Stealing Almost Two Years Ago

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    I got caught for petty shoplifing about 2 years ago at macys, i only got the civil demand, no cops called, paid it, but now would like to apply for a retail job at target, does anyone know what background check company they use? will they check national retail theft database? will it impact my employment chances? the theft was only 30 dollars.

    1.) No, I have no idea what background check company they use, or even if all stores use the same one
    2.) It would be surprising if they didn't
    3.) Yes.

    Who does and does not subscribe to the retail theft database is a closely guarded secret... or else thieves would merely target those organizations that do not subscribe.

    How old were you when the original theft occurred?

    after 7 years it goes away? i was reading this off the site:

    A: NRMA only reports incidents that have occurred within the last 7 years of the report date. All reports are accessible in real-time online for viewing the most recent 7 year period.
