Some of the shops' policy is to deduct from the emplyee's salary when the calculations dont match at the end day. Or the week. Or the month. So there is a possibility that some of the staff hired there will pay for what your friend took. Insted of buying something for their own child. Or little brother.But of course, your friend is not concearned about that. He is concerned whether he will be caught by the police or not. Maybe people from City Centre didnt see him, but God did.Sorry if I sound rude or harsh - but that is how I see it.
