The telling comment for me was the OP “deserving” the stolen cupcake. Really? Do people think this way? I wonder about the whole story now.

Being that there are virtually no consequences for petty crime in Denver anymore, you’ll be fine. Although you should have asked first; employees/volunteers generally aren’t entitled to free food in a situation like this.

OP, You should be worrying less about whether the booth owner can press charges, and more about the appropriateness of your behavior. You volunteered to work at some sort of festival (you honestly don’t know?) and you were assigned to work at a booth. At the very least, you and the owner should have had some sort of understanding about whether you could help yourself to his bakery goods. I’m sure that he, like many other business people, is working hard to make ends meet.

Any reasonable person would have asked the owner if he could have the pastry for free after helping out all day. But the fact that you helped yourself without asking makes you the bad guy. When the owner took you to task, you should have had the decency to apologize and offered to pay for it. You chose to act like a spoiled child. Hopefully you’ve learned a lesson for next time.

You did it all wrong in everything you did, but I’m sorry, the bakery guy is scamming everyone having people work for free. One random 75 cent donut is worth someone working for free. Any volunteers wanna come work for my company making me money for zero pay? Then when they take something that cost me cents or maybe a dollar or two to make, I’m pressing charges, wtf. I understand his logic of stealing, but give someone one unit for working x amount of hours, or how about pay the now current going wage of about $20 an hour to said employee/volunteer.

If the entire thing a charity deal where all money is going to something, then what I said doesn’t apply.

One would have to assume the OP is very young, becasue the sense of 'entitlement' is very clear.

It's not just young people who are entitled. It's not age, it's ethics, or lack thereof.
