If one to analyze the owners of this store and the people who dished out the sentence then you'd doubtless find a long list of far worse crimes that just got brushed away and/or hidden. I suspect that the 'judge' and the owners of the store commit more expense and tax fraud per month/per year than this woman's total 'crime'.
She did commit a very low level fraud and should have been sacked, but this should never have gone to court, and the sentence is crazy.
