So I was caught shoplifting at Target last Saturday. It was something that cost less than $12, it was stupid (I have never done it before, nor do I plan to do it again--I made that clear with the LP rep). The cops were not called, they did take my information and picture of myself and the merchandise. And told me to expect a letter in 3 weeks for me to send them money for the product/time it took them to reshelf it. I just want to know if this will be on my permanent record because I am going in for a job interview next Monday and I don't want to bother going if they are going to run a background check and see that. Is there any way for me to know for sure that it will not be on there when they look at my background check?I am also in the Education program at my local university and I don't want to have to worry about schools seeing that when I apply for jobs.
