First off, I will say that I've realized what a greedy fool I was being and what poor judgement I had used and I am never going to return to that store, or shoplift/self-discount again. I feel so ashamed.
Today, I took a sale sticker off of one pair of shorts' tag and put it on the one I wanted, to knock it down by $10. I had done this a few times before after being introduced to the idea by an acquaintance at school. He made it seem like not a big deal and I was enchanted by the idea, because it seemed so easy. I did it a few times, knocking off $2 here, $5 there. I just changed the stickers in the dressing room and walked up to pay for the item.
It went without a hitch until today, when the cashier paused after ringing up the pair of shorts and said that something was wrong and it wasn't going through right. I was immediately sick to my stomach. I played it cool and told her after a few moments of her trying to work it out that if it was going to be a hassle that it wasn't all that important because I was late to pick up my little sister.'
I don't know if she realized what had happened, or if anyone there will. And I don't know if I am the first person they will suspect if suspicions do arise. There is no way they can prove it was I who changed the sticker. I do know for sure that I will not be going back to that store, and that I will not be stealing or self-discounting anything ever again. It is not worth the risk.
