    You should be fine as it appears they did not press criminal charges on you. Once you pay the Civil Demand the issue should be behind you

    Yes however if retailers wishes they can turn over case to PD and let them issue a warrant for your arrest. Thats very unlikely and store gains nothing from pressing charges. Just pay your Civil Demand and this should be all but a bad memory

    Yes I would strongly advise you not to enter that store or any with same name again. If you are caught tresspassing they can then file the sholift charges if they wisd long as statute of limitations has not run out

    There were no criminal charges brought on you thus no criminal record
