Loss Pervention system records
I have an important question...
Will I be denied a job at an LP firm if I was approached by an LP for shop lifting under $80 of merchandise from 2+ years ago? I'm young and was going through a phase. They accused me of stealing 6 months prior but I refused to take credit for it. However, I did steal up for $80 of merchandise I fully admitted to ( I took them recently at the time)
I walked out with something $60 at a late shift. It was an accident and I walked out wearing it. I was surrounded by employees and no one said a thing. (The next day was the day I was approached by management and an LP). The other item was a $10+ coupon I found on a counter. It was there for hours so I took it. (That was on the same day of the day they approached me)
They insisted I took more items 6 months prior but I denied it and I didn't sign the paper they had with them because of that. I also didn't fight being fired because of the Items I admitted to.. I felt they had enough to fire me from those two items. It was a petty mistake and now I'm looking for work. I have an interview soon.
Will they find that mishap from two years ago even though I wasn't fined and I didn't sign the papers I gave them?
Should I come clean during the interview?
Should I proceed with the interview without saying anything and risk future discovery?
I'm a hard worker and I have not done anything like this since.. I'm a student and I'm focused on growing my career.
