Thank you, I will of course look into this. It’s not something I have ever done before (I know everyone says this!). It was a perfect gift for someone but I didn’t have the cash for it so this seemed like an option at the time - of course now I realise no one needs a gift that badly! A moment of idiotic stupidity.

I’m too scared to return to the store now in case something happens or I get recognised!

I’m so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. A few days ago I added a clearance label to an item to get a discount, paid for the item and left. Nothing happened in store, cashier didn’t even bat an eyelid. I’m now terrified of any recourse if they find out. Can I get caught and prosecuted after the event? I have visions of police turning up at my door, or my face appearing in the local paper. Please help, I can’t stop googling like mad this is so out of character for me, I don’t even know why I did it!
