This was entirely my fault, so I'm not asking for any sympathy here - I don't deserve it. But I need to write it down.

For those of you that don't know, I recently started work as a cashier at the local supermarket. Because I'm not 18 yet, I got told on my first day that I'm to ask someone over 18 before selling alcohol to anyone, but after a couple of weeks I realised that nobody else does this, plus it's sometimes hard to find anyone over 18 on the checkouts, so I stopped. I thought nobody minded until last night. My supervisor came over to me after I'd scanned through a bottle of wine to a guy who must have been in his mid 40s, and reminded me that I had to ask before selling alcohol - and told me that all her managers had just seen me selling it without asking first. I was really scared, and I only just managed to stop myself panicking thanks to the breathing exercises my therapist had taught me (my voice was still shaking, though - I was lucky nobody asked me about it ), and even after my supervisor came over later and told me it wasn't really a big deal, I still couldn't stop worrying about it.

I still feel awful about it now, but I don't deserve to feel any better. Stupid *****.

I don't want to go back!
