Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Im 21 years old. I was caught shoplifting 15$ worth from Walmart. I am SO sick over this and SO embarrassed and ashamed. They did not call the cops and took a copy of my drivers license. They told me to write down any address to receive a letter from Walmart for a fine so I did not write my home address beause I did not want my parents knowing.

However, this was not the first time I have stole from Walmart, only the first time I got caught. im so scared that they will know about all the other times and press charges. I cant afford a lawyer or anything im SO scared :( do you think they would have mentioned the other times right then and there? do you think they will press charges? how long do these letters usually take to come? when will I know if they pressed charges are not?

please help im so scared, this happen 3 days ago (NJ)
