When I was younger, I was a bit rebellious and I used to shoplift. It was all little things, like nail polish, but I still did it. Right after I turned 18 I got caught at shoprite taking an eyeliner. They didn't call the cops, but took down all my information and I was contacted by Retail Recovery Service, and I had to pay 150$. I haven't heard anything afterwards, and I stopped and I haven't done it again. I realize how stupid I was and it is the one thing I wish I could take back.
Now I am 21 years old, and I have started to apply for some jobs that require a background check. I am very nervous that will show up. What exactly goes on to a background check and would it be just criminal offenses dealing with police?
Does anybody know for sure?
