This may sound rather wierd...

I need your help and assistance everyone...let me try to explain...

a few years ago i worked part-time in a small convenience store around the corner from my house. i liked it there, i liked the staff. but at the time i was deep in my depression and my head was neither here nor there. i was foolish...i stole some money from the till one day when i was there because i felt i needed the mental boost by buying myself something nice. it was careless, and completely not who i am at all. i am different now, i have no regrets about what i did as it made me learn so much about myself.

i was arrested from there and kept in a police station for about 4 hours in a cell...that was very scary.

as you may know, i left my full-time job (somewhere else) last year to pursue my music career. but recently i have really wanted to go and work in the shop again. i know i need to start looking for a job, and that is the only convenience store around here, and i really want my job back there. without obviously the theft issue. i want to work evenings when i get a job, something like 5-11pm as we are approaching summer and i adore the hot sunny weather. so it is the ideal job for my needs, and i really liked the job. i do miss it. i know i was careless and foolish for doing what i did, but i wasnt thinking straight at the time.

what shall i do, do you think? shall i go down there and see if they will accept my apologies and give me another chance? i dont even think it has the same management anymore, im not sure...i havent been in there properly since it happened 3 years ago.

let me know your opinions on the matter...i just wish there was a way i could have another chance there, to re-pay the sins i made back then.

simon, this is a hard one to reply to, as i have stole from shops and i have been caught .
but here goes , i think you are a brave man to even want to go back to that shop. if you want this job so much i guess you have nothing to lose by going there and if its the old owners try and explain to them that you were foolish and you were down at the time , the worse they can say is no,
and if there are new owners, i would also explain to them what happened, because if they find out by someone else , there trust in you would be gone.
good luck simon
