    Generally stealing from your employer is considered much worse than stealing from a misc. store. From a law perspective.

    I have never read any statutory law in any state that has a greater classification of theft because it was from an employer. The elderly, yes, as my state has one.

    Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. From a store's perspective they treat it as a much worse offense and pursue the maximum amount of civil demand. This is what I meant.

    Look up "embezzlement".
