Hi
So last Tuesday I was caught taking around £30 of goods from a Waitrose store.
I am completely ashamed of myself and have since been to my GP as I am suffering from severe depression. And under financial strain.
I don't know why I did it but I did. Desperation I guess.
So the two undercover store detectives brought me back into the shop, took me up to the managers office and emptied the bag and took all the good back.
I apologised and explained I was going through a tough time but of course (don't blame them) they looked at me with disgust.
Anyway they asked me for my I.d badge as I was stupidly working at the time but on a break. And they asked for my national insurance number? and my home address
I gave all the information over willingly as I was petrified and crying my eyes out.
The manager decided to let me go but the store detectives said I would receive I fine in the post that I must pay.
They said anything from £100 up to £1000!!
I am such a fool and I've also been banned from all Waitrose and John Lewis stores for life.
My fear is the fine. I am a single mother on my own and I am really strapped for cash and in a bit of a mess really. Do I pay it in bits ? Or what happens?
I know in hindsight I should never of taken the goods but I was desperate .
Thank you in advance :-(
