It is not likely that you will go to jail. Contact an attorney who can negotiate a "compromise of misdemeanor" for you with the store.

I agree it is not likely you will go to jail, but it is certainly possible. Depends on the court you are in, what the judge is like, and your history. Hopefully you are not in front of a judge that has seen you before.
You definitely want to talk to a lawyer before you go to court. A compromise is worth a try, but the store and the court have to agree to it. Good luck.
