This kiosk at my work doesn't have anyone working on it. There's cameras but I doubt anybody checks those. I don't steal much, but I make sure to grab an extra item to buy to make it more convincing.

Friend, if there's cameras, there's a record, and that means that if someone notices they'll have video proof of theft. That would cost your job.

And if you're working for a small business, please don't steal from the owner. Small businesses are not big faceless money-extraction machines like corporations are.

The job is small potatoes compared to jail time and a criminal record, which can be way more expensive, particularly over the long term.
