LETTERS: Apologies for stealing from local business

I was caught shoplifting at Canadian Tire in Williams Lake last September.

Editor:

I was caught shoplifting at Canadian Tire in Williams Lake last September.

Since then I have found out that the owners actually own or have a mortgage on the store and all its contents.

The kids that work there make approximately $10.25 an hour and at the end of the year they get a bonus from the profit of sales.

Every time that the store loses money from shoplifting, the bonus becomes less and sometimes there won’t be a bonus.

The kids who work there don’t deserve that, as most of them are still in school.

I would like to apologize to the staff and to the managers of Canadian Tire.
