I was caught shoplifting, but after being confronted by the staff, I immediately paid for all the items I had not yet paid for. The staff then took my photo and informed me that I would be banned from entering the store in the future. They also mentioned that the CCTV system would capture me if I attempted to return.
This is my first time doing something like this, and I won't attempt to justify my actions. However, I do feel deeply regretful for what happened, and I understand how wrong it was.
I would like to ask:
What is the usual duration of such a ban from Marks & Spencer in cases like this?
Will my photo be linked to the CCTV system, and could it be used to monitor my future visits to any Marks & Spencer store?
If anyone can give me an answer, I'd be very grateful
