I stole food from a wheelchair bound woman because I was insecure that she was flirting with my girlfriend

This was 8 or 9 years ago. I was a different person back then. I’m not proud of this and I’ve never told anyone this before but I’m feeling somewhat guilty due to some personal issues going on right now. <br><br>When I was around 19 I worked in a fast food restaurant. My girlfriend would always come to visit and I would give her free food and drinks. One time a lady rolled in with a lot of difficulty (it looked like she suffered a stroke and could barely function on her own) but she smiled when she saw my girlfriend and said “I love your colour! Are you Jamaican? Can I touch your hair?” <br><br>I assumed she was flirting and was annoyed because I was insecure about my girlfriend being black and got attention from other men. I went back to the kitchen and to distract myself I began to make food for the next customer on the list. When I went out to take payment from the lady I noticed that she had ordered extra food. I was still in a bitchy mood so I said “Sorry, I’m new, but I don’t see this order on the list, would you mind waiting a little longer? Maybe you forgot to take your ticket?” She insisted that she did take her ticket and escaladed it to my manager who said he didn’t see this order on the list and it wasn’t made. I was right. <br><br>She was so stressed out from arguing with me that she got teary eyed. I put her order through and I intentionally didn’t put extra food on it. She paid me and when I gave her her food I said “I’m sorry again for the confusion, but since you made me wait I’m going to take the other order first.”<br><br>She was tired out, looked defeated and was still in tears. I served the other customer and I heard her go “wow okay”. I served her after and felt a little bad but I was still glaring at her. She ate her food then left. <br><br>I’m not the same person I was back then. But I am worried if this could affect my career as a healthcare worker? I haven’t told anyone this because it was shameful
