Thank you for your help. I really appreciate your help with this. I'm struggling with mental issues and evidently need to work on my impulsive nature. I've never done this before and its my first time. Never again, its just a disgusting feeling.

Essentially, I did something INCREDIBLY stupid today and I will never do it again. Mark my words.... I tried to walk out of Waitrose today with a pizza. It was stupid and wasn't worth it. The store detective walked up to me and asked me to come back to the store. I was so embarrassed and I couldn't look anyone in the eye. Luckily no one knew me. They took me to the back room and took a picture of me and gave me letter. I didn't sign a single thing. Just got a firm warning and basically a slap on the wrist. I'm still shocked but I just feel so ridiculously stupid. I work a full time job and a generally a well respected individual. I have NEVER done this before. I feel dirty and stupid. What happens now? Will I get a court order? or more information? I'm just scared and have no idea what this means or may do..... how many years will I be banned with Waitrose they didn't say?
