Dear Marge,
I work at a supermarket after school. A girl I work with sometimes takes cans of energy drink or chocolate bars and secretly puts them in her bag. I have seen her do this several times.
Do you think I should report her for theft to our boss or not? My parents have always taught me to tell the truth and that any stealing is wrong. What do you think?
